Wells Station Elementary

Wells Station Elementary serves 633 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Memphis, Tennessee. The school carries a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — an Exceptional rating — built on above-average academics and one of the strongest growth scores in the state. That growth score, 9.8 out of 10, is the standout figure.

It means students consistently gain more ground year over year than peers at comparable schools, and that progress holds regardless of starting point. Academic performance comes in at 8.3 out of 10, reflecting solid, repeatable outcomes across grade levels. A student-teacher ratio of 12.7 to 1 gives teachers room to provide individualized support, which likely contributes to both measures.

The school's statewide standing makes the picture clear. Wells Station ranks 17th out of 1,785 public schools in Tennessee, outperforming 99% of the state. In Memphis alone, it ranks 5th out of 199 schools.

Among all Tennessee elementary schools, it places 16th out of 1,002. For a regular public school, that consistency across all four rankings signals durable performance, not a single strong year.
