Summary

Geeter School is an elementary school located in Memphis, Tennessee, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 610 students. It is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Geeter School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Geeter School's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 5.7% of Geeter students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 22.6% in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district and 42.2% statewide. Similarly, only 6.3% of Geeter students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23.7% in the district and 38.9% statewide. Geeter School also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.9% to 77.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Geeter School to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that Geeter is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, J.P. Freeman Elementary/Middle, a magnet school located just 1.96 miles from Geeter, has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The relatively high spending per student at Geeter School, ranging from $11,030 to $14,568 over the past few years, coupled with its poor academic performance, raises questions about the school's resource allocation and the effectiveness of its instructional practices.
