Additionally, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.5 compared to the other schools in the area.

However, the schools in the 79245 zip code area face significant challenges, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.5% at Memphis High School to 96% at Travis Elementary. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the schools' performance, as they also underperform the state average in certain subjects, such as Biology, U.S. History, and 5th-grade Science. Addressing these performance gaps and supporting the needs of the student population could be key focus areas for the Memphis Independent School District (Isd).
