Summary:
The 38132 zip code in Memphis, Tennessee is home to a single elementary public charter school, Southern Avenue Charter School Of Academic Excellence Creati, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 330 students.
While the school's English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates are higher than the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district average, they still fall short of the state averages. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels are significantly lower than both the district and state averages, indicating a potential area for improvement. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% is notably higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
Despite the school's higher spending per student of $17,396, it is unclear if this higher investment is translating into improved student outcomes. The school's small size of 330 students may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of personalized attention and resource allocation. Overall, the data suggests that Southern Avenue Charter School is facing some academic challenges, particularly in Mathematics, and high chronic absenteeism, but also shows potential strengths in ELA and Science performance compared to the district average.
