Central High

Summary:

Central High is a public high school located in Memphis, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,312 students. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 83.31% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year. Central High is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central High's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various TNReady/EOC assessments, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 14.3% of 10th-grade students at Central High were proficient or better in TNReady/Biology I, compared to 21.1% for the district and 36.5% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in mathematics, with only 6.6% of students proficient or better in Algebra II across all grades in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to 10.4% for the district and 25.6% for the state. Central High has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools, with a ranking between 211 and 349 out of 374 high schools in the state over the past several years, and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

Despite its relatively low performance, Central High is located in close proximity to several higher-performing schools, such as Middle College High, Medical District High School, and Crosstown High School. These schools, which are all within a 2-mile radius of Central High, demonstrate that there are pockets of academic excellence within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. Additionally, Central High's per-student spending has remained relatively consistent over the past few years, ranging from $10,086 to $10,612 per student, suggesting that resource allocation may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance.

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.
