Treadwell Middle School

Summary:

Treadwell Middle School is a public middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 621 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Treadwell Middle School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (54.27%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a higher percentage of African American students. Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on TNReady assessments are significantly lower than state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels, particularly for its White, Hispanic, and English Language Learner student groups. The school's spending per student has also decreased from $13,189 in 2018-2019 to $11,081 in 2020-2021, which is lower than the spending at some of the nearby higher-performing schools like Maxine Smith STEAM Academy and University Middle.

The academic challenges faced by Treadwell Middle School are not unique, as nearby schools such as Bellevue Middle, Memphis Business Academy Middle, and Sherwood Middle also struggle academically. This suggests that the issues may be indicative of broader systemic challenges within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. However, the contrast with high-performing schools in the same district highlights the potential for improvement with the right strategies and resources, particularly in addressing the school's socioeconomic factors, staffing, and resource allocation.

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.
