Summary

White Station Elementary School is a PK–5 elementary school in Memphis, TN, serving 786 students within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. Despite being part of one of Tennessee's lowest-ranked districts — 137th out of 141 statewide — White Station consistently performs well above the district average and near or above state averages. In 2025–2026, the school ranked in the 62nd percentile of Tennessee elementary schools, earning a 3-star rating. Its English Language Arts proficiency rate of 52.8% is more than double the district's 24.6% rate and well above the state's 40.6% average. Math proficiency (42.9%) essentially matches the state average (43.0%), a remarkable feat given the district's 22.1% rate.

One of the school's strongest assets is attendance. White Station's chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.0%, compared with 30.2% districtwide and 18.3% statewide — a pattern that has held consistently for the past four years. Compared with nearby schools, White Station is one of the better-performing options in the area. While Richland Elementary is the top performer locally at the 91st percentile, White Station outranks most of its immediate neighbors, including Wells Station Elementary, Grahamwood Elementary, and Compass Community School Berclair Campus. The school also spends less per student ($14,754) than several lower-performing peers, suggesting efficient use of resources.

The main concerns are a noticeable fifth-grade achievement dip and declining science scores. Fifth-grade ELA proficiency drops from 65.6% in 4th grade to 39.8% in 5th grade, and math falls to 33.9%, well below the state's 47.4% average. Science proficiency has declined from 65.6% to 48.5% over four years. On the positive side, the school serves its student subgroups well: African American, White, and Hispanic students all ranked in the 70th–80th percentiles statewide in 2025–2026, and special education outcomes have improved dramatically, climbing from the 15th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 76th percentile in 2025–2026. Results for low-income and English Language Learner students have been more volatile in recent years, which is worth monitoring.
