The 38112 zip code area of Memphis, Tennessee is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school, operated by various districts such as Memphis-Shelby County Schools, the Achievement School District, and the Tennessee Public Charter School Commission.
Among the standout schools in the area, Snowden Elementary/Middle School is the largest, with 1,272 students enrolled in grades PK-8, but it has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% and generally underperforms on state and district test scores. In contrast, Exceptional Children Special Placements, an alternative school, stands out with a high four-year graduation rate of 89.2% and a low dropout rate of 6.7%, despite having the lowest spending per student at $5,887.
Overall, the schools in the 38112 zip code area face significant challenges, with all of them having chronic absenteeism rates above the state average and the majority performing below state and district averages on standardized tests. The wide range in spending per student, from $5,887 to $19,544, suggests potential disparities in resources and funding, which may be contributing to the academic performance differences observed among the schools. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by the students in this community.
