Summary

Freedom Preparatory Academy Flagship is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Memphis, Tennessee, with 723 students. The school faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools and performing well below state and district averages on academic assessments.

Freedom Preparatory Academy Flagship's academic performance has declined over the past 8 years, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts far below state averages. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism. While nearby Whitehaven High and Westwood High perform better, they still face challenges compared to state averages, indicating broader issues within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district.

The school's performance is particularly low for its African American and economically disadvantaged student subgroups, suggesting significant achievement gaps. However, the school's Hispanic and special education student subgroups perform relatively better, indicating the school may be more effective in supporting these populations. Overall, Freedom Preparatory Academy Flagship's declining performance and struggles to keep pace with nearby schools suggest the need for substantial interventions and improvements to better support student success.
