Sharpe Elementary School

My daughter went to this school in 5th grade, granddaughters went a few years back as well. Let's put it this way, this school seem to be struggling a somewhat in my opinion. I didn't quite feel the loyalty and genuine dedication in some of the staff members. The principal appearred a bit nice and dedicated though. Since I eagerly wanted to remove my dd from this school and didn't really get the bigger picture....I'm going to have to rate this school a three stars. I think they maybe off the list now for failing schools in Memphis. I would suggest parents who dislike their present school if it is not progressing to enter your child in a prospering Public Charter School. The classes are smaller and their programs usually are catered for the success and progression of your dis-advantaged scholar. They have longer school hours so they can work more in depth with students who are having difficulties or failing. They also help the kids who are average or above to excell to their highest potential.



However, do your researches and ask around because "not all Charters are created equally". Some are better than the others....My favorites would be Veritas College Prep. and Soulsville Charter Schools...I have researched them both and was quite pleased. There are a few other great Charter Schoolsin the area, just see what tailors your child's need.....hope this helps.
