Memphis School of Excellence

Summary:

Memphis School of Excellence is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Memphis, Tennessee, with a diverse student population of around 43% African American and 54% Hispanic students. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom 25-30% of high schools in Tennessee.

Despite spending more per student than nearby traditional public high schools like Ridgeway High, Kirby High, and Overton High, Memphis School of Excellence's academic outcomes are significantly lower. The school's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 123 out of 273 high schools in 2016-2017 to 293 out of 374 high schools in 2023-2024. The school's performance is particularly low for female, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom 25-40% of Tennessee high schools for these subgroups.

As a public charter school, Memphis School of Excellence's struggles raise questions about the effectiveness of the charter school model in improving educational outcomes for underserved students in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 134 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data analysis suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and the implementation of targeted strategies to address the significant gaps in outcomes for certain student subgroups.

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.
