Newberry Elementary

Newberry Elementary serves 378 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Memphis, Tennessee. The regular public school runs a 15.1-to-1 student-teacher ratio and earns a composite score of 9.2 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating driven by strong academics and standout student growth. The academic score of 8.8 reflects consistent, high-level proficiency across grade levels.

The growth score of 9.7 is the sharper indicator: it measures how much students advance year over year, regardless of where they start. A 9.7 places Newberry among a very short list of schools that consistently accelerate student learning. That combination puts the school at #24 out of 1,785 public schools in Tennessee, outperforming 99% of schools statewide.

Within Memphis, Newberry ranks 6th among 199 public schools and 22nd among all 1,002 Tennessee elementary schools. For parents weighing Memphis elementary options, those rankings carry real weight. Few schools in the state match this pairing of high academic achievement and near-perfect student growth — and fewer still do it at the elementary level.
