Hollis F. Price Middle College

Summary:

Hollis F. Price Middle College is a public high school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 79 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Hollis F. Price Middle College has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic subjects like Biology I, English I, and English II. The school's statewide ranking has declined significantly, from 60th out of 342 Tennessee high schools in 2018-2019 to 263rd out of 374 in 2023-2024. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has struggled to support the academic achievement of specific student subgroups, such as female and male students. However, the school has performed better in supporting the academic achievement of African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools like Crosstown High School, Middle College High, and Medical District High School, Hollis F. Price Middle College's academic performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools having higher test scores and statewide rankings. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
