Summary

Lucy Elementary School is a small Pre-K–5 school in Millington, Tennessee, that serves 301 students and is part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district ranked in the bottom 3% of Tennessee districts. The school received a 0-star SchoolDigger rating for 2025-2026 and sits in the 9th percentile of Tennessee elementary schools — an improvement from the 4th percentile in 2023-2024 and the 2nd percentile in 2021-2022. Proficiency rates remain well below state averages, with 18.6% of students proficient in math, 20.5% in ELA, and 21.5% in science, but the trajectory is encouraging: math proficiency has roughly doubled since 2022-2023, and science has climbed from 14.7% to 21.5% over the same period.

Compared with nearby schools, Lucy's performance is mixed. It outperforms Granville T. Woods Academy of Innovation Charter School and Promise Academy Spring Hill in most subjects, but it trails Brownsville Road Elementary School and Egypt Elementary School. The starkest contrast is with Millington Primary School, just 5.5 miles away under Millington Municipal Schools, which posts roughly 48% proficiency in 3rd-grade math and ELA — versus just 9.8% and 20.0% at Lucy. Bartlett Elementary School in Bartlett City Schools also achieves 61% math proficiency while spending far less per student.

Lucy spends $17,647 per student — the highest among nearby MSCS schools and more than Bartlett Elementary, which spends about $13,585. Chronic absenteeism is 24.5%, below the MSCS district average of 30.2% but well above the state average, and it has spiked from about 5–8% before the pandemic. The most urgent academic concern is 3rd-grade math, where only 9.8% of students are proficient; the fact that 4th- and 5th-grade math is considerably higher (20% and 25%) suggests students who stay at Lucy tend to improve over time. Subgroup results are moving in the right direction, with African American students and students from low-income families each earning 1-star ratings in 2025-2026. The key takeaway is that Lucy is making slow but real progress, and early-grade math intervention and attendance deserve the most attention.
