Summary

Compass Community School Binghampton Campus is a small K–8 charter school in Memphis, TN, serving 201 students within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district — a district that ranks in the bottom 3% of Tennessee districts, putting the school in a challenging academic landscape. The school's own statewide ranking sits in the 15th percentile, a modest improvement from recent years. Its most striking bright spot is attendance: just 7.5% of students are chronically absent, compared to 30.2% districtwide and far below many nearby schools like Hanley K-8 School (52%) and Springdale Elementary School (44%). This represents a dramatic turnaround from a 51% chronic absenteeism rate just a few years ago — students are clearly showing up to class, and that consistency is a real achievement.

Compass Binghampton also has genuine academic strengths. English Learner students rank in the 89th percentile statewide (4 stars) — far above the school's overall performance and among the best in Tennessee. Math proficiency matches the district average at 22.1%, and 6th grade math (30.8% proficient) nearly doubles the district rate of 15.7%, while 4th grade science also outpaces the district. However, English Language Arts remains a significant weakness at 18.6% proficiency — only Hanley K-8 scores lower among nearby schools, while Peabody Elementary School (36%) and Idlewild Elementary School (68.5%) perform substantially better.

The school's biggest academic red flag is 7th grade, where proficiency collapses to just 8.7% in both math and science — far below district averages — and low-income student performance has dropped sharply since 2022-23, falling from the 73rd to the 16th percentile statewide. Perhaps the most useful comparison is to Compass Community School Berclair Campus, a sister school just 2.5 miles away in the same charter network: Berclair posts dramatically higher scores in math (47.1% vs 22.1%) and ELA (40.5% vs 18.6%). That gap shows the network is capable of stronger results, giving Binghampton a clear roadmap for improvement.
