Summary:

The 38135 zip code area in Tennessee is home to 5 elementary schools, including Rivercrest Elementary, Oak Elementary, Bartlett Elementary School, Ellendale Elementary, and Brownsville Road Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Bartlett and Memphis-Shelby County Schools districts.

Among the schools in the 38135 zip code, Bartlett Elementary School stands out with consistently high performance, with 65.1% of students proficient or better in math and 59.5% in English Language Arts in 2024-2025. Oak Elementary also performs well, with 61% proficiency in math and 49.4% in English Language Arts. Rivercrest Elementary is another high-performing school, with 54.1% proficiency in math and 49.8% in English Language Arts.

However, not all schools in the 38135 zip code are performing at the same level. Brownsville Road Elementary, which is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district, significantly underperforms the state and district averages on test scores. Additionally, all schools in the 38135 zip code had a chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The variation in per-student spending, from $12,311 to $14,554, also suggests potential funding disparities between the schools that could be contributing to the observed differences in performance.
