Summary

Crump Elementary School in Memphis, Tennessee, serves 569 students in grades PK-5 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, and while the school ranked in the 14th percentile statewide in 2025-2026 — earning a 1-star rating — that represents a modest improvement from the 8th percentile where it sat for the previous two years. Within a roughly two-mile radius, families have access to schools with dramatically different outcomes, which makes understanding Crump's specific strengths and challenges especially important.

Crump's math performance is a relative bright spot: 27.5% of students are proficient in math, above the district average of 22.1% and up from 16.4% two years ago. However, compared to nearby schools, Crump trails significantly — Newberry Elementary, only about two miles away, posts a 53.3% math proficiency rate. In ELA, Crump's 25.2% proficiency is roughly in line with the district (24.6%) but lags nearly every nearby school, including Newberry (56.2%) and Winridge Elementary (36.3%). Science is the school's clearest weakness: at 22.7%, Crump's science proficiency falls below the district average of 28.4% and is the lowest among all nearby schools — Newberry's 83.9% rate is nearly four times higher. Grade-level data also show a concerning drop in 5th grade math: after reaching 38.6% in 4th grade, proficiency falls to just 16.2% in 5th grade, far below the state average of 47.4%.

There are encouraging signs worth noting. Crump has improved across all subjects since 2023-2024, and its English Language Learner students ranked in the 93rd percentile statewide in 2023-2024 — a 5-star result. Hispanic students also perform relatively well, ranking in the 55th percentile in 2025-2026. Chronic absenteeism, while still high at 25.5%, has improved and is below the district's 30.2% rate, though higher than several high-performing neighboring schools. Crump spends about $14,520 per student, slightly less than most nearby schools. For families exploring options, higher-performing schools like Newberry, Hickory Ridge Elementary, and Compass Community School Hickory Hill Campus are nearby and demonstrate that stronger outcomes are achievable in the same district and community.

I wish this school was more professional. My daughter started her cycle for the first time at school and she was embarrassed because all of her classmates saw that she had blood coming from her pants. I went to the and brought clothes and wipes so she could clean herself up but they allow her to leave class because it was 2pm. They told me everything was ok because they gave her a pad and shorts to change into but made her keep the same bloody underwear on. They would allow her to put on fresh underwear just because the time wasn’t before 2pm. Please make it make sense. Close Quote
