Summary

Bartlett High School serves approximately 2,782 students in grades 9–12 and is the sole comprehensive high school in the highly regarded Bartlett City Schools district, which ranks 15th out of 141 districts in Tennessee. The school has consistently earned a 4-star rating and currently ranks 98th out of 400 Tennessee high schools, down from its recent peak of 57th in 2022–2023. The graduation rate is 94.8%, well above the state's 90.5%, while the dropout rate of 2.8% is less than half the state average. Chronic absenteeism sits at 12.6%, far below Tennessee's 18.3% average, reflecting strong student engagement.

Academically, Bartlett outperforms the state in most subjects, with particularly strong results in English II (64.8% vs. 58.1% statewide), Biology (54.9% vs. 49.8%), and U.S. History (57.4% vs. 42.4%). The standout weakness is Algebra I (25.4% vs. 32.3% statewide), though students who advance to Algebra II perform exceptionally well (44.8% vs. 37.3%), suggesting effective intervention after the 9th-grade transition. Most student subgroups rank at or above the 74th percentile statewide, with English Language Learners earning a remarkable 5-star rating in 2022–2023. However, special education students (26th percentile) and a decline among low-income students (from the 83rd to 65th percentile) are areas that deserve attention.

Compared with nearby Memphis-Shelby County Schools, Bartlett stands out dramatically. Kingsbury High School (52.5% chronic absenteeism, 24.4% dropout) and Douglass High School (52.3% absenteeism, 22.9% dropout) face challenges Bartlett has largely avoided. Bartlett achieves this while spending $12,218 per student—less than nearly every Memphis school, including Craigmont High School ($13,392) and Memphis Rise Academy ($15,446). The closest competitor, White Station High School (ranked 96th), spends slightly more at $12,670 per student. Bartlett's combination of high graduation rates, low absenteeism, and efficient spending makes it a strong, cost-effective choice.
