Summary

Treadwell Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 874 students. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Treadwell Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools, with proficiency rates in TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly lower than the district and state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points or more. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 29.5% in recent years, which are well above the district and state averages. Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of around $13,000 and a student-teacher ratio ranging from 13.5 to 17.8 students per teacher, Treadwell Elementary does not appear to be effectively utilizing its resources to improve academic outcomes.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Douglass Elementary/Middle, Springdale Elementary, and Memphis Business Academy Elementary School, generally perform better than Treadwell Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. These nearby schools also tend to have lower chronic absenteeism rates and more favorable student-teacher ratios compared to Treadwell. Despite its magnet school status, Treadwell Elementary does not appear to be outperforming its non-magnet counterparts in the area, raising questions about the effectiveness of the magnet program and the school's ability to attract and retain high-performing students.
