Summary

Egypt Elementary School serves 454 students in grades PK–5 in Memphis, Tennessee, operating within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. The school holds a 1-star state rating and places in the bottom 15% of Tennessee elementary schools, though it has improved gradually since a low point in 2023-2024. Chronic absenteeism affects about 30% of students — slightly better than the district average but well above the state rate of 18.3%. The school spends $13,854 per student, less than many nearby peers.

Math is Egypt's clearest strength, with overall proficiency at 26.8%, about 4.7 points above the district average and better than most nearby schools. Third-grade math is especially strong at 40.3% proficiency, nearly matching the state average of 42.6%. Science is also a bright spot — 28.2% proficiency, beating nearly every local school except Brownsville Road Elementary School and the Libertas School of Memphis. Reading is more middling: 21.7% overall proficiency sits below the district's 24.6%, but still outpaces peers like Keystone Elementary School (14.1%) and Promise Academy Spring Hill (13.3%). Egypt achieves these results while spending less than higher-spending neighbors like Scenic Hills Elementary School and Hawkins Mill Elementary School.

The main concern is that early gains fade by upper elementary. While 3rd graders excel, proficiency drops sharply by 4th and 5th grade, and 5th-grade reading falls roughly 10–13 points below district averages. Chronic absenteeism has tripled since 2021-2022, affecting 3 in 10 students, although several nearby schools are even worse. A significant gender gap persists — male students rank in the 5th percentile statewide, while female students rank in the 19th percentile. Still, there's encouraging progress: African American students improved from the 11th to the 29th percentile over two years, and Hispanic students sit at the 52nd percentile. For families considering options, the Libertas School of Memphis outperforms Egypt by 10+ points in every subject with far lower absenteeism, but Egypt remains a reasonable choice within its immediate cluster.
