Summary

Manassas High School is a traditional public high school in Memphis, TN, serving 369 students in grades 9–12 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. For much of the past decade, Manassas ranked near the bottom of Tennessee high schools, but the most recent data show meaningful progress: the school jumped from the 11th to the 26th percentile statewide, placing it above several nearby schools including B. T. Washington High School, KIPP Memphis Collegiate High School, and Soulsville Charter School.

The most remarkable bright spot is special education: Manassas ranks 2nd out of 210 Tennessee high schools for special education students, placing it in the 99th percentile with a 5-star rating. The school also posted substantial gains for low-income students, moving from the 10th percentile to the 47th percentile in a single year. Science is a relative strength, with Biology I proficiency of 33.7%—above the district rate of 29.9% and higher than Central High School and several other nearby schools. These gains suggest Manassas may be in the early stages of a turnaround, though the trend will need to be sustained to know for sure.

Serious challenges remain, however. The graduation rate of 75.2% is the lowest among nearby schools, well behind Crosstown High School at 97.5% and Central High School at 90.2%. Chronic absenteeism has skyrocketed from 12.4% in 2020-2021 to 48.1% in 2024-2025, meaning nearly half of students are missing too much school. English is the biggest academic barrier: only 19.0% of students are proficient in English II, less than half the district rate of 39.5% and the lowest among nearby schools. Unless attendance and literacy improve, the recent academic gains may not translate into higher graduation rates.
