Summary

Trezevant High School is a large public high school in Memphis, TN, serving 883 students in grades 9–12 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. The school has historically been low-performing, but it is showing real momentum: its state ranking jumped from the 2nd percentile in 2023–2024 to the 14th percentile in 2025–2026, and its graduation rate climbed from 63.0% in 2020–2021 to 83.6% in 2024–2025—now nearly matching the district average of 84.1%.

However, academic proficiency remains a major concern. In English I, only 6.4% of Trezevant students are proficient—the lowest among nearby schools like Craigmont High School (14.4%) and Kingsbury High School (8.6%). Science is also weak, with Biology I proficiency at 15.5%, below Memphis Business Academy High School (17.4%) and Douglass High School (41.5%). Math is relatively less weak: Algebra I proficiency (13.8%) beats Craigmont, KIPP Memphis Collegiate High School, and Memphis Business Academy. Chronic absenteeism is very high at 49.4%, but it is actually lower than at KIPP (62.2%), Craigmont (59.1%), Kingsbury (52.5%), and Douglass (52.3%).

Trezevant spends the least per student of all nearby schools—$12,683—yet posts a better graduation rate than schools spending thousands more, including Manassas High School ($16,426) and Raleigh-Egypt High School ($13,296). Encouragingly, the school has shown strong improvement for its African American students (from the 4th to 25th percentile) and low-income students (from the 3rd to 15th percentile). Still, proficiency rates remain far below state averages, and nearly half of students miss significant school time. Trezevant is building genuine momentum, but sustaining it will require focused investment in attendance and literacy.
