Summary

Freedom Prep Elementary - Millbranch School is a K-5 elementary school in Memphis, TN, serving 495 students as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district ranked 137th out of 141 in Tennessee. Despite that challenging context, this school has become a clear academic standout: it currently ranks 453rd out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (56th percentile, 3-star rating), making it the top-performing school among its 10 nearby elementary peers — well ahead of Oakhaven Elementary School (480th) and Whitehaven Elementary School (571st), while neighbors like Winchester Elementary School (998th) and Robert R. Church Elementary School (729th) lag far behind.

The school has posted dramatic academic gains in recent years. Proficiency rates now sit at 37.2% in math, 48.2% in ELA, and 53.2% in science — far above district averages of 22.1%, 24.6%, and 28.4%, respectively. Science is a particular strength, with 5th graders reaching 70.2% proficiency compared to 46.5% statewide. The school also stands out for exceptional results with historically underserved student groups: economically disadvantaged students rank in the 90th percentile statewide, English Language Learners in the 92nd percentile, and African American students in the 85th percentile.

There are still areas to watch. Math remains below state averages, and special education students rank at just the 20th percentile statewide — a clear equity gap. Chronic absenteeism, while lower than most nearby schools at 26.4%, has risen sharply from 7.7% a few years ago. On a positive note, the school spends about $15,332 per student — notably less than Southern Avenue Charter at $29,135 — yet produces far stronger results. Overall, this is a genuine turnaround story, climbing from the 4th percentile in 2020-21 to above the state median today — proof that school-level practices can make a real difference for Memphis families.
