DOUGLASS ELEMENTARY/MIDDLE SCHOOL

Douglass Elementary/Middle is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools school district, located in Memphis, TN with about 438 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 40 teachers, Douglass Elementary/Middle has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Douglass Elementary/Middle School, located at 1650 Ash St in Memphis, Tennessee, is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) district. Serving a diverse student population, the school provides foundational education for students spanning elementary through middle school grades. As part of the larger MSCS system, the school is integrated into the district's mission to provide equitable learning opportunities and academic growth for students within the North Memphis community.

The school functions as a neighborhood anchor, focusing on core academic standards while fostering a supportive environment for adolescent development.
