Summary

Raleigh-Egypt High School is a 6–12 public school in Memphis, TN, serving 725 students as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools — a district ranked in the bottom 3% of Tennessee districts. Despite that context, Raleigh-Egypt has climbed steadily from the 3rd percentile of high schools statewide in 2018-19 to the 33rd percentile in 2025-26, earning a 2-star rating and a reputation as a school on the move.

The school's standout strength is math. Raleigh-Egypt's Algebra I proficiency rate of 43.8% is far above the district average of 18.1% and even exceeds the state average of 32.3%. It's the highest Algebra I score among all nearby schools — including Bartlett High School (25.4%) and Memphis Rise Academy (41.2%). Geometry is similarly strong at 39.8%. Another bright spot is special education: this subgroup now ranks in the 91st percentile statewide, a remarkable jump from the 16th percentile just two years ago. Low-income students also perform at or above the state median. The school achieves these results while spending about $13,296 per student — less than nearby Memphis Business Academy High School ($15,204) and KIPP Memphis Collegiate High School ($14,844).

Still, real challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism affects 41.4% of students — more than double the state rate of 18.3% — though it's notably better than Craigmont High School (59.1%), Kingsbury High School (52.5%), and Trezevant High School (49.4%). English language arts is the biggest academic weakness, with English I proficiency at just 9.4% compared to the state's 37.3%. The graduation rate of 80.1% sits below the district's 84.1% but above Douglass High School (76.0%) and Kingsbury (74.3%). With strong math results, a special education program that's clearly working, and a steady upward trajectory, Raleigh-Egypt's biggest opportunities for growth lie in improving attendance and literacy.
