The data also highlights the performance of Leadership Preparatory Charter School, a public charter elementary/middle school that has outperformed the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district and state averages in mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies. However, the other charter school in the data set, Arrow Academy of Excellence, has lower proficiency rates. Across all schools, the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 25.9%, is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
