Memphis Scholars Raleigh-Egypt

Summary:

Memphis Scholars Raleigh-Egypt is a public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Memphis, Tennessee, with a predominantly African American student population. However, the school's academic performance is consistently among the lowest in the state, ranking in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools.

The school's proficiency rates on TNReady assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 6.8% in mathematics and 6.7% in English language arts, compared to the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. This poor performance extends to various student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Tennessee middle schools for female, male, African American, and low-income students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as KIPP Memphis Academy Middle and Humes Preparatory Academy Middle School, also perform poorly on academic measures, suggesting systemic challenges within the Achievement School District, which ranks last in the state. However, some schools in the area, like Maxine Smith STEAM Academy and Lester Prep, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, indicating that high-quality education is possible within the same geographic area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
