Summary

Georgian Hills Elementary School is a PK-5 school in the Frayser area of Memphis, TN, serving 287 students as part of Memphis-Shelby County Schools. The school is currently ranked 1008th out of 1,019 Tennessee schools, placing it in the 1st percentile statewide — the lowest rank among all nearby elementary schools in this analysis.

Academic proficiency at Georgian Hills is in single digits in every core subject: just 8.1% of students are proficient in math, 7.3% in English language arts, and 5.6% in science. These numbers represent a sharp decline from the prior year, when proficiency rates were roughly 17–20%. The school also has the lowest ELA proficiency rate of any nearby school — lower than Westside Elementary School (18.8%), Frayser-Corning Elementary School (16.5%), and Lucie E. Campbell Elementary School (21.9%). Chronic absenteeism, while improved from about 59% to 44.2%, is still nearly two and a half times the state rate of 18.3%. By contrast, Delano Elementary School, just over two miles away in the same district, has 66.4% math proficiency and only 11.9% chronic absenteeism. Memphis STEM Academy, about a mile away, posts 48.3% math proficiency.

Georgian Hills spends about $15,328 per student — more than several nearby schools — but outcomes remain far below what that spending level would suggest. The school serves male students far less effectively than female students, and its effectiveness for low-income students fell from the 15th percentile to the 4th percentile in one year. Reading is a particular concern: only 14.3% of 3rd graders and 6.7% of 5th graders are proficient in ELA. The encouraging news is that attendance has improved considerably, and nearby schools serving similar communities show that strong outcomes are possible. Still, the current trend at Georgian Hills is moving in the wrong direction.
