Summary:
The 38109 zip code area of Memphis, Tennessee is home to 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 4 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, except for Fairley High School which is part of the Achievement School District.
Among the standout schools in the area are J.P. Freeman Elementary/Middle School, which ranks among the top 165 elementary schools in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating, significantly outperforming the district and state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. Riverview Elementary/Middle School and Freedom Prep Elementary - Parkrose also stand out as relatively higher-performing schools in the area.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest and lowest performing schools, with some schools like Chickasaw Middle and Levi Elementary struggling to achieve proficiency rates above 20%. The high schools in the area, with the exception of Westwood High, also generally perform poorly compared to state averages. While factors like spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, the data does not show a clear correlation between these metrics and academic performance, suggesting that other factors may be at play in driving student outcomes in this area.
