Achievement School District

The Achievement School District in Tennessee operates 16 public charter schools, including 6 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 3 high schools. Unfortunately, the district as a whole is ranked 139 out of 139 in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

Despite the district's overall low performance, a few schools stand out as relatively stronger performers. Journey Coleman School, an elementary school, is the highest-ranked school in the district, outperforming the district and state averages in several subject areas. Similarly, Wooddale Middle School is the highest-ranked middle school in the district, also outperforming the district and state in multiple subjects. Additionally, Memphis Scholars Florida Kansas, an elementary school, is the second-highest ranked elementary school in the district and outperforms the district and state in mathematics and English language arts.

However, the majority of schools in the Achievement School District consistently underperform the state averages in all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from only 5% to 23.5%. The district also faces challenges in terms of student diversity, with a predominantly African American student population, and potential funding and staffing issues, as evidenced by the wide range of spending per student and student-teacher ratios. Addressing these underlying issues will be crucial for the district to improve and provide a better education for its students.
