Summary

Craigmont Middle School is a Memphis, TN middle school serving 475 students in grades 6–8 as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. In 2025-2026, the school ranked 487th out of 594 Tennessee middle schools (18th percentile) with a 1-star rating—a clear improvement from its 3rd-percentile ranking in 2017-2018, though scores have largely plateaued since 2021. Grade-level proficiency rates remain below state averages in math (19.0%), English language arts (17.8%), science (23.6%), and social studies (30.8%), but are close to—and in some cases above—district averages.

The school has several genuine bright spots worth noting. Craigmont's Algebra I results stand out dramatically: 71.4% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient, compared to just 18.1% districtwide and 32.3% statewide—and nearly 2.5 times the rate at nearby Kate Bond Middle (30.3%). The school has also made remarkable progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 35.0% in 2022-2023 to just 10.1% in 2024-2025, far better than the district's 30.2% average and most neighboring schools, including Treadwell Middle (37.5%) and Kate Bond (21.1%). Social Studies is a relative strength, with 30.8% proficiency exceeding the district's 28.7%, particularly in 6th and 7th grades.

Within its immediate cluster of MSCS middle schools, Craigmont is mid-pack: it outperforms Treadwell, Kingsbury, Raleigh Egypt, and Georgian Hills in math and ELA, but trails Memphis Business Academy. The gap with nearby Bartlett City Schools is substantial—Appling Middle (51.9% math) and Elmore Park Middle (48.5% math) both rank in the 72nd–83rd percentile. Notably, Craigmont spends more per student ($15,140) than those Bartlett schools. The main concern is 8th grade, where grade-level math proficiency falls to just 13.0%, suggesting the school's success in accelerating some students into Algebra I hasn't yet lifted the majority of 8th graders.
