Germanshire Elementary

Summary:

Germanshire Elementary is a public elementary school located in Germantown, Tennessee, serving 764 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district.

Germanshire Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education student subgroups all perform exceptionally well, ranking among the top 25-30% of Tennessee elementary schools. This suggests the school has effective teaching practices and support programs in place to help diverse student populations succeed. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.5 could be an area for improvement, as smaller class sizes may allow for more individualized attention and support.

While Germanshire Elementary's overall performance is strong, with a current ranking of 500 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, indicating there may be room for further improvement. The school's performance for its Low Socio-Economic Status student subgroup, while better than the district and state, is still in the bottom half of Tennessee elementary schools, suggesting a potential area for targeted interventions or support. Nearby schools like Oak Forest Elementary, Winridge Elementary, and Ross Elementary may offer additional options for parents in the Germantown 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.
