Summary

Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus is a public charter elementary school serving 649 students in grades PK-5 in the Frayser community of Memphis, Tennessee. The school is part of the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission district, which is ranked 117 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its district on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 41.5% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 42.2% statewide. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 30.7%, well below the state average of 38.9%. The school's performance on science tests was also low, with only 30.3% of students proficient or better. Additionally, Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 40.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

While Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus has shown some strengths in serving its African American students, who have consistently outperformed the state's African American students, the school has struggled with its special education and low socioeconomic status students. Comparing the school to nearby charter schools, such as Libertas, as well as district schools in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, highlights the need for continued improvement and support to ensure that all students in the Frayser community have access to a high-quality education. One standout performer in the area is Delano Elementary, a magnet school in the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, which has significantly higher proficiency rates than Cornerstone Prep Denver Campus and the other nearby district schools.
