Summary

Winridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 415 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state.

Winridge Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Winridge had a 38.5% proficiency rate in Mathematics, compared to 22.6% for the district and 42.2% for the state. The school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rates have been particularly impressive, reaching around 50% or higher. Winridge also shows strong performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, who outperform their peers at the district and state levels.

While Winridge Elementary has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, reaching $16,543 in the 2023-2024 school year, the school has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 31.7% over the past few years. This is an area of concern that the school and district should focus on addressing. Compared to nearby schools, such as Power Center Academy Elementary School and Compass Community School Hickory Hill Campus, Winridge Elementary still outperforms many in terms of test scores and student group performance.
