Houston High School

• Germantown, TN
• 9-12
• 297 reviews

Senior: For a public school, the education at Houston is top of the line. It's as a simple as that the test scores, the culture of the school, and the teachers are all phenomenal not only by Memphis and Tennessee public school standards but on a national level. While the campus itself is due for upgrades, these are in the planning stages and likely to come sooner than later. Overall, Houston is one of the finest schools in the Memphis area, both public and private, by any measure. Go Mustangs!

Middle School Student: Great school, great academics. However, most of the teachers don’t seem to really care or get anything done about bullying and harassment. The gifted program for language arts is the same as standard, just with slightly more advanced discussions.

Middle College High School

• Shelby County Schools, TN
• 9-12
• 119 reviews

Freshman: Middle College High School has been an amazing experience. Everyday that I wake up I am excited to go to my school. Considering we are a smaller school, everyone is like a family there. The bonds and relationships made there are the type you keep for life. The coursework is filled with rigor, which is amazing for top-notch students. AP and DE(Dual Enrollment) classes are offered inside of the school. DE courses are also offered at Christian Brothers University. There is truly no school that I'd rather be at than Middle College High School.

Junior: At Freedom Preparatory Academy, I enjoyed the privilege of learning college level material during my high school year. This school allowed me to really indulge myself in every aspect of my life not just academically, but activities outside of school. My experience at FPA was great because I learned many things that will prepare me for not only college but my life after a four year institution. Lastly, this school allowed and is also preparing me to excel in college and in life.

Niche User: I give Germantown Elementary School 5 stars. My child has attended this school for 5 years and she has received an exceptional education. The optional program not only enriches the current curriculum, but also gives her cultural arts with a concentration in the French language. She has 15 students in her class which gives her more one-on-one time with her teacher. I am excited about this school and what it has to offer.

Soulsville Charter School

• Shelby County Schools, TN
• 5-12
• 80 reviews

Senior: Overall, my experience was great, most teachers want to see you succeed and will help you in any way possible in order to be successful. They also look out for behavorial issues and try to avoid problems like bullying which is a major problem in most schools in Memphis. They also try to incorporate fun incentives like end of year trips and activities during school for people who demonstrate good behavior. Only thing that could be changed would be better quality food and more food options for people who have a special diet. Sometimes the food can be repetitive and thrown together.

Memphis Business Academy High School

• Shelby County Schools, TN
• 8-12
• 88 reviews

Senior: Memphis Business Academy is very good school. The administration helps the students prepare for the ACT. Some of the English teachers have ACT prep classes. Although they don't have some classes to help prepare us for some careers, they do as much as they can. The teachers and administration are pushing the students to attend college. Some teachers give projects for the students to do on colleges; it usually involves a lot of research. The teachers and administration really care about your future; they want you to take pride in whatever you do.

Hollis F. Price Middle College High School

• Shelby County Schools, TN
• 9-12
• 80 reviews

Junior: My Hollis F. Price Middle College High School experience was an eye opener. Let me begin by saying that this is not your average high school. Because it is a small school, it's easy to make friends and friends, eventually, became family. At the beginning of the year, it was very tense and strict but, as the year progressed, administration became more lenient and we, as students, were able to broadcast our ideas and we were able to do the things we enjoyed.

Senior: It’s a giod school, kinda strict but professional and you learn alot at a fast pace, the only thing that’s lacking is the kindergarten behavior they put the students at. They treat the upperclassmen as babies and make everything a competition between grade levels. They do reward the grade levels for their corporations in making the school better. They are upgrading the school which is also a good thing and they keep all activities open and nice and long.

• 51 reviews

Senior: My short experience at Memphis Academy of science and Engineering was a great 3 years of my highschool. The teachers taught me more then I knew before enetering the school I was lost because if the public schools I cam from really wasnt teaching, caring, or focusing in the students. My school have lost of clubs or activities you can join during or after school hours such as Smith & Nephew, Moore Tech, and STEM with are all internships for only high school students. Those three internships are helpful for us because many students graduate from high school without a jobs but working for those three internships provide jobs when you graduate from high school.
