Summary

Craigmont High School is a traditional public high school in Memphis, TN, serving approximately 968 students in grades 9–12 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district ranked 137th out of 141 in Tennessee. The school ranks 342nd out of 400 high schools statewide, placing it in the bottom 15th percentile, though it actually outranks several nearby same-district schools including KIPP Memphis Collegiate High School, Trezevant High School, Memphis Business Academy High School, and Kingsbury High School.

The most encouraging news for parents is in graduation and completion. Craigmont's graduation rate has climbed from 58.6% in 2020–2021 to 86.2% in 2024–2025, now above the district average of 84.1% and higher than Kingsbury High School, Douglass High School, Raleigh-Egypt High School, and Trezevant High School. The dropout rate has also fallen to 13.0%, better than the district average of 14.4%. Academically, Craigmont's English II proficiency rate of 44.6% beats the district average of 39.5% and is well above several nearby schools like KIPP Memphis Collegiate High School, Trezevant High School, and Kingsbury High School. Only Memphis Rise Academy and Bartlett High School do better in this subject.

The biggest concern is chronic absenteeism. Craigmont's rate reached 59.1% in 2024–2025—meaning nearly 6 in 10 students miss enough school to disrupt learning—compared to 30.2% districtwide and 18.3% statewide. This rate has quadrupled since 2020–2021. Math and science proficiency also remain far below state averages, with Algebra I at 7.5% and Biology I at 20.8%, though the school spends about $13,392 per student, similar to nearby schools. The striking contrast with Bartlett High School, located just 1.41 miles away, illustrates the challenge: Bartlett has a 94.8% graduation rate, 12.6% chronic absenteeism, and 25.4% Algebra I proficiency. Craigmont is improving in important ways, but reducing absenteeism is the key to translating graduation gains into stronger classroom achievement.
