Summary

Macon-Hall Elementary School in Cordova, TN, serves roughly 1,070 students in grades PK-5 and is part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district ranked in the bottom 3 percent of Tennessee districts. For the 2025-2026 school year, Macon-Hall Elementary School ranked 831st out of 1,019 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 18th percentile with a one-star rating. That's below the state average, but the school actually outperforms its district in every tested subject. English language arts is its strongest area at 33.3% proficiency — nearly 9 points above the district's 24.6%. Math (23.6%) and science (30.0%) also beat the district but fall well short of state averages.

Several bright spots stand out. English Language Learner students at Macon-Hall ranked in the 86th to 93rd percentile statewide in recent years — an exceptional result for a school in the 18th percentile overall. Hispanic students also performed well, reaching the 78th percentile in 2024-2025. Chronic absenteeism is another relative strength: at 18.5%, it's far better than the district's 30.2% and essentially matches the state average. However, there are serious concerns. Special education students rank in the 11th-19th percentile statewide, and 5th-grade math proficiency is just 14.0% — far below the 47.4% state average. This sharp drop from 3rd grade (27.6%) and 4th grade (28.0%) points to a specific challenge in upper elementary.

The comparison to nearby schools makes the picture especially clear. Within a few miles, Dogwood Elementary in Germantown Municipal Schools ranks in the 98th percentile, Farmington Elementary in the 96th, Lakeland Elementary in Lakeland School System in the 95th, and Bon Lin Elementary in Bartlett City Schools in the 91st — all with math proficiency rates between 69% and 85%. Even within its own district, Riverwood Elementary ranks in the 57th percentile and Memphis School of Excellence Elementary Cordova in the 55th. Notably, Macon-Hall was once a 4-star school in the 77th percentile (2017-2018), making this a long-term decline. Per-student spending is comparable to its high-performing neighbors, suggesting the achievement gap is less about funding and more about broader socioeconomic and community factors.
