Summary

Double Tree Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Memphis, TN, serving 259 students as part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. The school is one of the lowest-performing in the state, ranking 1012 out of 1019 Tennessee schools in 2025–2026 — the 1st percentile — with just 8.4% of students proficient in math, 9.2% in English language arts, and 13.6% in science. Every grade and subject tested falls far below district and state averages. Even the school's relative bright spots, such as 4th grade science (18.9% proficient) and 5th grade math (10.0%), remain far short of where students need to be.

Chronic absenteeism at Double Tree is 36.3%, well above the district rate of 30.2% and roughly double the state rate of 18.3%. Attendance has worsened steadily, climbing from 14.8% in 2021–2022 to 36.3% in 2024–2025. At the same time, the school spends more per student than any nearby school — $17,476 per year — yet produces the lowest state ranking in its local cluster. Funding has risen from $13,715 in 2022–2023 without any corresponding improvement in outcomes, raising real questions about how resources are being used.

The contrast with nearby schools shows that low performance is not inevitable. Freedom Prep Elementary - Parkrose School, located just 0.71 miles away, posts dramatically higher proficiency (28.7% math and 32.8% ELA versus Double Tree's 8.4% and 9.2%) and far lower chronic absenteeism (15.8% versus 36.3%). J. P. Freeman Elementary/Middle School, 3.7 miles away, ranks 128th in the state with 54.9% math proficiency and just 8.4% chronic absenteeism. Meanwhile, Double Tree's ELA proficiency dropped from 16.2% to 9.2% in one year, and its overall ranking has fallen from the 13th percentile in 2017–2018 to the 1st percentile today. These comparisons highlight that school leadership and instructional strategies matter enormously — and that Double Tree's current approach is not producing the results that nearby schools achieve.
