About Shelby County Schools

Shelby County Schools, headquartered in Memphis, TN, stands as one of the largest and most dynamic urban school districts in the United States, dedicated to closing the achievement gap and fostering educational equity. With a mission to prepare all students for success in learning, leadership, and life, the district is committed to ensuring that by 2025, 80% of students will be college and career ready, 90% will graduate high school, and 100% of graduates will enroll in post-secondary education. This promise is particularly significant given that 84% of students are considered economically disadvantaged, highlighting the district's role in transforming the lives of underserved children.

Over the past three years, Shelby County Schools has achieved remarkable progress, earning a level 5 growth designation—the highest in Tennessee. The district has seen a doubling of math proficiency scores and significant improvements in I-Zone schools, which have transitioned from the bottom 5% to aiming for the top 25% within five years. This upward trajectory is fueled by a commitment to innovative strategies and practices that prioritize student achievement, ensuring that every classroom is staffed with effective teachers and every school is led by dedicated leaders.

For those interested in the educational landscape, the Shelby County Schools teachers list showcases a diverse group of professionals who are passionate about making a difference. As the district continues to rise, it remains focused on its core belief that education is the great equalizer, striving to create opportunities for all students to thrive in an ever-changing world.
