SHRINE SCHOOL

Shrine School is a public school that is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools school district, located in Memphis, TN with about 143 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 17 teachers, Shrine School has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. 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.

Shrine School, located at 4259 Forest View Dr in Memphis, Tennessee, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Shelby County Schools (MCS) district. It is uniquely designed to provide comprehensive support for students with significant medical, physical, or multiple developmental disabilities. By offering a highly tailored environment, the school focuses on meeting the complex needs of its student population through a combination of specialized instruction, therapeutic services, and a compassionate, inclusive campus atmosphere.

The school serves as a critical resource for families in the Memphis area, integrating academic curriculum with individualized health and developmental support. Because it is part of the broader Shelby County Schools system, the institution benefits from district-wide educational standards while maintaining a niche focus on accessibility and student well-being.
