MacArthur Elementary is the improvement story, climbing from 241st to 171st to 129th over three years while carrying the city's highest free/reduced-price lunch rate (22.02%) and still exceeding state averages. Germantown High posts a 97.4% graduation rate and 0.2% dropout rate, well ahead of the state, with ACT 10th grade proficiency of 64.76% in ELA and 65.08% in math.

Areas to watch: Rockfield's 4th grade ELA (53.45%) and science (51.72%) fall below state, and its rank has slipped from 144th to 293rd despite the smallest classes (13.9) and highest elementary spending ($12,907). Kennedy's 8th grade science (47.76%) remains under the state's 51.86% even after a large gain. Germantown High's 10th grade social studies dropped from 64.89% to 53.98%, and its chronic absenteeism (11.2%) is the city's highest, though still below the state's 17.3%.
