Crump Elementary

Summary:

Crump Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 595 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 the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crump Elementary faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges. The school has a predominantly African American (73.45%) and Hispanic (23.36%) student population, and likely serves a high-poverty community, as it does not report free and reduced-price lunch rates. Academically, Crump consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly for male students, African American students, and students with special needs. The school's per-student spending is slightly lower than the district average, and it has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 16.9, which may contribute to its struggles.

Compared to nearby schools in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, Crump Elementary generally performs worse on standardized tests and has a lower ranking. For example, in 2023-2024, only 16.4% of Crump students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20% for the district and 39.7% for the state. This suggests that Crump may face unique challenges that are not shared by all schools in the district, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, targeted approach to improving educational outcomes for the school's predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student population.

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.

I wish this school was more professional. My daughter started her cycle for the first time at school and she was embarrassed because all of her classmates saw that she had blood coming from her pants. I went to the and brought clothes and wipes so she could clean herself up but they allow her to leave class because it was 2pm. They told me everything was ok because they gave her a pad and shorts to change into but made her keep the same bloody underwear on. They would allow her to put on fresh underwear just because the time wasn’t before 2pm. Please make it make sense. Close Quote

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.
