Summary

Compass Community School Hickory Hill Campus is a K–8 school serving 241 students in Memphis, TN, as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. Despite being within a district that ranks in the bottom 3% of Tennessee districts, Compass has steadily improved and now ranks in the 44th percentile statewide for 2025–2026 — a solid mid-tier result well above most schools in its immediate area. The school's most recent state ranking places it at #572 out of 1,019 Tennessee schools with a 2-star rating, a dramatic improvement from the 10th percentile in 2020–2021.

Compass's biggest strengths are its attendance, support for low-income students, and middle school math performance. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 35.6% in 2021–2022 to just 5.0% in 2024–2025 — nearly 25 percentage points better than the district average and better than every nearby school. The school also ranks in the 95th percentile statewide for serving students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, earning a 5-star rating in that category. Middle school math is a highlight: 8th grade math proficiency is 72%, compared to 38.3% statewide and just 16.6% districtwide. Social studies proficiency (56%) also exceeds the state average.

Compass outperforms its district by wide margins in every tested subject — math proficiency is 42.5% vs. 22.1% districtwide, and ELA is 38.4% vs. 24.6% districtwide. Among immediate neighbors, only Newberry Elementary, located just 0.16 miles away, is a clearly stronger school by rank and test scores. Hickory Ridge Elementary has comparable math and ELA averages, but Compass's chronic absenteeism rate of 5.0% is dramatically lower than Hickory Ridge's 32.6%. Areas to watch include early elementary performance — 3rd grade ELA (18.2%) and math (31.8%) are well below state averages — and overall science proficiency (38.4% vs. 46.9% statewide). The school's trajectory suggests its strategies are working and it may be a model worth studying within Memphis-Shelby County Schools.
