Summary

Lucy Elementary is a small elementary school in Millington, Tennessee, serving 301 students in grades PK-5. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 5% of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, which is the 135th-ranked district out of 139 in the state.

Lucy Elementary's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 12.9% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 42.2% statewide and 22.6% in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th grade Mathematics, where only 6% of students were proficient, compared to 47.1% statewide and 26% in the district. Lucy Elementary also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 29.5% in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Libertas, Bartlett Elementary School, and Granville T. Woods Academy of Innovation Charter School, generally perform better than Lucy Elementary across various academic metrics, despite being part of the same Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. For example, Brownsville Road Elementary, a magnet school, had significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics (33%) and English Language Arts (36.1%) compared to Lucy Elementary.
