Craigmont Middle

Summary:

Craigmont Middle is a public middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 485 students in grades 6-8. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with 81.24% of students identifying as African American in the 2022-2023 school year. Craigmont Middle 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.

Craigmont Middle consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in academic assessments, with proficiency rates in TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies significantly lower than the averages. The school has a statewide ranking of 455 out of 580 middle schools and has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. While the school's African American and Hispanic students perform better than the overall school average, they still lag behind the state averages for those subgroups. The school's White and Special Education student populations perform particularly poorly compared to their peers across the state.

Craigmont Middle's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools, such as White Station Middle and Appling Middle, which are part of the Bartlett school district and consistently outperform Craigmont Middle and the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district on state assessments. The school's high spending per student, ranging from $11,965 to $12,423 per student over the past three school years, suggests that addressing the root causes of these issues will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for all students.

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.
