Summary

Georgian Hills Middle School is a public middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 249 students in grades 6–8 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district currently ranked in the bottom 3% of Tennessee districts. Despite that challenging context, the school has been steadily climbing the statewide rankings — moving from the 4th percentile three years ago to the 15th percentile in 2025–2026, and earning a one-star rating after two consecutive years at zero stars.

The school's most compelling story is its attendance turnaround. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 37.7% in 2022–2023 to just 5.5% in 2024–2025 — far below the district average of 30.2% and the state average of 18.3%. Among nearby schools, only Woodstock Middle School posts a comparably low rate. Georgian Hills also invests heavily in its students, spending $16,438 per child — more than most neighboring schools, including Craigmont Middle School, KIPP Memphis Collegiate Middle School, and Raleigh Egypt Middle School. Science and social studies are relative bright spots, with proficiency rates that outpace several peer schools, and the school has shown meaningful academic gains among students from low-income families and students receiving special education services.

Serious challenges remain, however. Only 9.1% of students score proficient in math and 8.6% in English language arts — about half the district average and roughly one-fifth of the state average. The 8th grade results are also a concern: just 5.5% of 8th graders are proficient in science and 9.1% in social studies, a steep drop from 6th and 7th grade cohorts that are outpacing district averages in those subjects. And unlike Craigmont Middle School, where over 70% of tested 8th graders passed Algebra I, Georgian Hills reported no Algebra I data — possibly signaling limited access to advanced coursework. The real test ahead is whether the school's remarkable attendance gains and upward trajectory can turn into lasting improvements in reading and math.
