Summary

Oakshire Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 394 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state.

Oakshire Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Tennessee elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 20.2% of Oakshire students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 42.2% statewide and 22.6% in the district. The school's English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates also lag behind state and district averages. Oakshire's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 29.5%, further contribute to its academic challenges.
