Summary

Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Memphis, TN, serving 398 students as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. The school currently ranks in the 1st percentile statewide — 1010 out of 1019 elementary schools in Tennessee — with a zero-star rating. Test scores are dramatically below district and state averages: just 9.4% of students are proficient in math, 13.5% in English language arts, and 12.3% in science, compared to state averages of 43%, 40.6%, and 46.9% respectively. Chronic absenteeism is a severe concern, with 41.8% of students missing enough school to be considered chronically absent — more than 2.3 times the state average of 18.3%.

Perhaps the most striking finding is that nearby schools in the same district perform far better. Wells Station Elementary School, just 2 miles away, ranks in the 66th percentile with a 10.8% chronic absenteeism rate and math proficiency around 43%. Jackson Elementary School, 2.3 miles away, has an absenteeism rate of just 9.8% and math proficiency near 49% — more than five times that of Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows. Even Beacon College Preparatory School, located just 0.28 miles away and also ranked low (8th percentile), outperforms Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows in every subject. Just 3 miles away in Bartlett City Schools, Bartlett Elementary School ranks in the 86th percentile with 60%+ proficiency in all core subjects while spending less per student than Raleigh-Bartlett Meadows.

The school spends $16,030 per student — more than six of the nine nearby comparison schools — yet outcomes remain extremely low. This suggests the challenge is not simply funding, but a combination of attendance, instructional effectiveness, and student-support barriers. Grade-level data reveals specific weak spots: 3rd-grade math proficiency is just 6.1%, and 5th-grade ELA drops to 7.3% from 17.2% in 4th grade — a red flag as students prepare for middle school. Performance has steadily declined since 2022–2023 even as spending rose 15%. For parents considering this school, the most urgent question is about attendance support and intervention programs, as the 41.8% chronic absenteeism rate is school-specific rather than a district-wide issue.
