Summary

Double Tree Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee that serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 352 students. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Double Tree Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.1% of students were proficient in Mathematics compared to 42.2% statewide. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping from around 10-14% in 2021-2022 to 8-16% in 2024-2025. Additionally, Double Tree Elementary has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 32.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Nearby schools, such as Vision Preparatory Charter School, J.P. Freeman Elementary/Middle, and Whitehaven Elementary, generally perform better academically than Double Tree Elementary, with higher proficiency rates, higher rankings, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a reasonable student-teacher ratio, Double Tree Elementary's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that the issues may be more complex and require a comprehensive approach to improve student learning and engagement.
