Summary

Raleigh Egypt Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Memphis, TN, serving 461 students as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools, a district that ranks near the bottom of Tennessee's 141 districts. The school's academic performance mirrors that district-wide struggle: in 2025-26, Raleigh Egypt Middle School ranked 583rd out of 594 Tennessee middle schools, placing it in the 2nd percentile. Proficiency rates were just 8.8% in math, 6.0% in English language arts, 6.2% in science, and 12.0% in social studies — all well below both district and state averages.

Perhaps the most surprising finding is that attendance is not the barrier many families might expect. Raleigh Egypt's chronic absenteeism rate was just 9.4% in 2024-25, dramatically better than the district average of 30.2% and comparable to higher-performing schools like Appling Middle School (17.0%) and Elmore Park Middle School (14.1%). Nearby Treadwell Middle School (37.5%) and Grandview Heights Middle School (63.3%) have far worse attendance, yet Raleigh Egypt still posts the lowest ELA and science proficiency among all comparable schools in the area. This suggests the issue is less about students showing up and more about academic readiness and instructional quality.

There are notable bright spots. Raleigh Egypt's English Language Learner students ranked 1st out of 42 Tennessee schools in 2022-23 and 8th out of 73 in 2023-24 — a remarkable achievement for a school in the bottom 2% overall. The school also spends a relatively healthy $13,731 per student, more than Appling Middle School and Elmore Park Middle School, which post proficiency rates four to six times higher. However, the trajectory is concerning: Raleigh Egypt has slipped from the 10th percentile in 2023-24 to the 2nd percentile in 2025-26, while nearby Georgian Hills Middle School and Memphis Business Academy Middle School have moved upward over the same period.
