While we frequently decry the crisis that exists in Memphis City Schools and the more than 100 schools that are not meeting state benchmarks, we want to take this opportunity to salute the schools – 2 high schools, 7 middle schools and 23 elementary schools – that have met state benchmarks and shown improvement over the last two years.
Hopefully, someone at Memphis City Schools is trying to learn what they are doing right, and how we can apply these lessons to the rest of the district.
