Frayser-Corning Elementary

Summary:

Frayser-Corning Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 369 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.

Frayser-Corning Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (97.02%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 81.15% to 96.56% African American. The school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with rankings in the bottom 1-2% for all grades and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 1006 out of 1008 Tennessee elementary schools. Frayser-Corning Elementary's student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and low socioeconomic status students, all rank in the bottom 1-2% of Tennessee elementary schools. The school's proficiency rates in TNReady Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

While the nearby schools, such as Westside Elementary, Lucie E. Campbell Elementary, and Whitney Elementary, also perform poorly compared to state averages, they generally outperform Frayser-Corning Elementary across various academic metrics. The high concentration of African American and low-income students at Frayser-Corning Elementary, coupled with the school's consistently low academic performance, suggests that the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. This points to broader systemic issues within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district and the education system serving the Frayser community.

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.
