Memphis College Preparatory

I am not pleased with the leadership of Ms. Payne, the principle. She has structured the school into a "quiet zone" which does not allow the students the opportunity to express themselves. Would not recommend this school or principle.

I was prepared for college better than most of my peers and my IC sisters are still my friends. I think all they need are some Nuns and it would be perfect.

This is school is in total disarray! My daughter attended this school for 2 years and in this time I saw things I should never see within school walls the teachers are only dedicated to students they "like" and many other students fall by the way side. My daughter struggled socially in this school which she has never done. The principal was obsessed with apperances. Tuition is inflated and the quality of education in this school is poor. If possible please take your little angels someplace else.

This school certainly is not an awful one, but there is always room for improvement.

This is an incredibly sweet school filled with caring teachers, admin, and staff. There is a new principal at the school this year, and she is very engaged with families. It's a smaller school environment, but I have been at the school multiple times to eat with my child, read in classrooms, and volunteer with PTA. I have never seen a negative interaction with students and their teachers. I know MSCS gets a lot of hate, and the criticisms are justified, but Peabody is a treasure and is working so hard to create a wonderful learning environment for their students and families.

I was so excited to learn that Memphis has a Performing Arts elementary school. I have never heard about an elementary school that focuses so heavily on the arts while still valuing the academic success of its students.
