Egypt Elementary

Summary:

Egypt Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 522 students in grades PK-5. The school 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.

Egypt Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages, ranking in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.4% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, 17.7% in English Language Arts, and 21.1% in Science. The school's performance is particularly low for male students and African American students, who rank in the bottom 5% and bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner student groups perform relatively better, ranking in the top 20% and top 5% of Tennessee elementary schools.

Nearby schools, such as Brownsville Road Elementary and Keystone Elementary, perform significantly better than Egypt Elementary on academic measures, despite having similar student demographics. This suggests that factors beyond the student population may be contributing to the performance gap. Additionally, Egypt Elementary's declining per-student spending and increasing student-teacher ratio may be exacerbating the academic challenges faced by 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.
