Summary

Georgian Hills Elementary is a public elementary school in Memphis, Tennessee, serving 269 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which is ranked 135 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Georgian Hills Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Tennessee elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in TNReady Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly below the district and state averages. The school also struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% for female students, male students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, Georgian Hills has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18.9% to 58.5% over the past three school years.

The challenges faced by Georgian Hills Elementary are not unique, as nearby schools such as Lucie E. Campbell Elementary, Whitney Elementary, and Delano Elementary also struggle academically. However, Delano Elementary, a public magnet school, stands out with significantly higher academic performance, ranking in the top 50% of Tennessee elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages. Addressing the root causes of the low academic performance, such as chronic absenteeism and targeted interventions for struggling students, could be crucial steps in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Georgian Hills Elementary and the broader community.
