    Memphis-Shelby County Schools Makes Big Strides with “Advancing” Designation in Federal Accountability Report

    Memphis, TN-  Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) proudly announces the district’s “Advancing” designation released in the latest federal accountability report from the Tennessee Department of Education. The achievement is an improvement from last year’s “Satisfactory” rating and reflects the progress happening in Tennessee’s largest school system.

     Here are the areas included to receive the designation:

    • Comprehension: How well students learn reading and math across elementary, middle, and high school.
    • Attendance: How consistently students show up for school.
    • Support for English learners: Skill improvement amongst students who are learning English.
    • Graduation rates: Students who complete high school on time.

     Our Schools Are Making Progress

    • Five schools worked their way off the state’s list of underperforming schools needing the most improvement: B. T. Washington High, Cherokee Elementary, Kingsbury High, KIPP Memphis Collegiate High, and Manassas High.
    • Four schools made significant strides for groups of students who faced challenges in the past, such as those with disabilities or English learners: Kate Bond Middle School, Sherwood Elementary, South Park Elementary, and Treadwell Elementary School.

    “This recognition proves that the hard work of our teachers, staff, students, and families is paying off,” said Board Member Tamarques Porter. “We’re making progress together, and this is just the beginning of what we can achieve as a community.”

     Celebrating Excellence

    This year, 34 MSCS schools were honored as Reward Schools—an elite recognition for schools showing exceptional results: 

    This achievement signifies that brighter days are ahead for our children and schools and MSCS is committed to building on this momentum.

     “We know that we still have great work to do, but we are proud of how far our schools have come,” said Dr. Marie Feagins, Superintendent of MSCS. “We’re chasing excellence, and together, we will continue to rise.”
