EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN SPECIAL PLACEMENTS

Exceptional Children Special Placements is a public school that is part of the Memphis-Shelby County Schools school district, located in Memphis, TN with about 641 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. Student demographics can be found below.

The facility located at 160 S. Hollywood in Memphis, Tennessee, serves as the administrative hub for the **"Exceptional Children Special Placements"** department within the Memphis-Shelby County Schools district. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, this location functions as a centralized office for specialized educational services. Its primary mission is to manage the placement, oversight, and support systems for students who require individualized education programs (IEPs) and specialized instruction to meet their unique learning needs.

The office acts as a critical resource for parents, guardians, and educators navigating the complexities of special education. Staff at this location coordinate the assessments and logistical planning required to place students in appropriate learning environments—ranging from specialized classrooms to therapeutic settings—that ensure compliance with federal and state disability mandates. By centralizing these functions, the department works to ensure that students with disabilities across the district receive equitable access to educational resources and the supportive services necessary for their academic and personal success.
