Craigmont High consistently ranks in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly for African American and Hispanic students. Craigmont High's male and female students, as well as its special education and economically disadvantaged students, all rank in the bottom third or bottom 5% of Tennessee high schools. The school spends slightly more per student than the district average but has a higher student-teacher ratio.

Compared to nearby schools like Bartlett High School, which is ranked 37th out of 374 Tennessee high schools, and other high-performing schools in the area such as KIPP Memphis Collegiate High School and Memphis Business Academy High School, Craigmont High's academic performance is consistently lower. This persistent underperformance and the stark disparities in outcomes for different student subgroups suggest that significant equity issues need to be addressed at the school.

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.
