Summary:

The 38125 zip code area of Memphis, Tennessee is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the area are outperforming their peers.

Southwind Elementary and Germanshire Elementary are two of the highest-performing schools, with proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts well above the district and state averages. The charter schools in the area, such as Power Center Academy Elementary - Southeast, also demonstrate strong academic performance despite lower spending per student.
