Summary

E.E. Jeter Elementary/Middle School in Millington, Tennessee, serves 356 students in grades K-8 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district ranked 137th out of 141 in Tennessee. Jeter itself sits at the 37th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating — not exceptional, but clearly above most schools in its immediate area. The school has a favorable 12.2:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $17,811 per student, more than most nearby schools. While proficiency rates trail the state average by about 9–14 points in all four tested subjects, they beat the district average by 8–10 points in every subject.

Compared with nearby traditional schools, Jeter is a clear outlier. Its math proficiency of 31.4% and ELA proficiency of 34.5% are roughly double or triple those of Keystone Elementary School, Westside Elementary School, Hawkins Mill Elementary School, and Georgian Hills Elementary School, most of which rank in the bottom 1–9% of Tennessee schools. Among other K-8 options, Jeter outperforms Northaven Elementary School in every subject and beats Compass Community School Frayser Campus in ELA and science, though it trails Compass in math and social studies. Attendance is also a strength: chronic absenteeism is 21.7%, well below the 30.2% district rate and far better than Georgian Hills (44.2%) or Keystone (40.8%).

There are warning signs nonetheless. Jeter was a 4-star school in the 79th–85th percentile as recently as 2018–19 but has since fallen to the 37th–46th percentile range. The middle grades are now a relative strength: 6th grade math (38.2%), science (50%), and social studies (55.9%) match or exceed state averages, while lower elementary grades lag, especially 4th grade math and science. Social studies, once a standout subject, has dropped from 56.3% proficiency in 2022–23 to 37.5% in 2025–26. Students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds also perform below the school's overall average, suggesting that targeted support in the younger grades and for these students could help reverse the school's multi-year decline.
