Public Grades K-5

Summary

Campus School is an exceptional elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee that serves grades K-5 and is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. Despite the district's low overall ranking, Campus School has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Tennessee, ranking in the top 5% of schools statewide for the past several years.

Campus School's academic performance is truly remarkable, with 79.4% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 71.5% proficient or better in math - far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also stands out for its racial diversity, with a student population that is 58.54% White, 24.37% African American, 4.77% Hispanic, and 5.53% Asian - a level of diversity not seen in nearby schools like Arrow Academy of Excellence and Cornerstone Prep - Lester Campus. Additionally, Campus School's high academic performance extends across all student subgroups, ranking in the top 20 in the state for African American, White, and special education students, and was ranked #1 in the state for gifted and talented students in 2020-2021.

Perhaps most impressively, Campus School achieves these exceptional results while spending significantly less per student ($5,559 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby charter schools like Arrow Academy of Excellence ($14,244) and Leadership Preparatory Charter School ($14,276). This suggests that higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and that Campus School's success is a testament to the dedication and effectiveness of its educators.
