Dalewood Middle School is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Hamilton County school district, located in Chattanooga, TN with about 350 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
