Summary

Georgian Hills Middle is a public middle school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 271 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Georgian Hills Middle consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (14.4%) and English Language Arts (10.5%) were less than half the state averages. The school's performance is particularly weak in 7th and 8th-grade Mathematics and English Language Arts, with proficiency rates often below 10%. Additionally, Georgian Hills Middle has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 29.5% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools, such as Craigmont Middle and KIPP Memphis Collegiate Middle, also perform poorly compared to state averages, they generally outperform Georgian Hills Middle on academic measures. The high per-student spending and relatively high student-teacher ratio at Georgian Hills Middle suggest that there may be opportunities to better utilize resources and implement more effective instructional strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly by addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rates and targeting support for underperforming student subgroups.
