School choice in Shelby County

Both schools earned a C from Niche. Teens are zoned to attend the nearby Central High School, which earned a grade of C-plus and offers students a College Preparatory Optional Program that includes several honors and Advanced Placement courses. The county follows a General Choice Transfer process, meaning that students can apply to attend other public schools outside of their assigned pathway. The neighborhood contains several options, including East High School, a public charter school known for its T-STEM Academy.Festivities at the Broad Avenue Arts District
Locals gather at the Broad Avenue Arts District for a variety of events, including the Broad Avenue Art Walk. The festival is held each fall and features live music, food from local vendors, an artist market and interactive activities for all ages.
Multi-use trail and nearby thoroughfares
Residents have easy access to the Hampline, a 2-mile-long pedestrian and bicycle corridor that extends along Broad Avenue into Overton Park. The neighborhood is centrally located between I-40 and I-240 and residents are about 7 miles from these major thoroughfares. Route 53 of the Memphis Area Transit Bus makes several stops along Summer Avenue, making it easier for locals to get downtown. For longer trips, the Memphis International Airport is less than 10 miles south. There are also two active passenger rail lines that cross through Binghampton. “You get to the point where you don’t notice them anymore,” Sowell says.Locally owned shops and restaurants on Broad Avenue
Originally the main street of Binghampton, Broad Avenue is now a vibrant commercial hub. The street is anchored by the Broad Avenue Arts District, where an eclectic collection of locally owned restaurants and boutiques sit side-by-side. Favorites for dining include farm-to-table restaurants such as Bounty on Broad, breweries such as Wiseacre and casual eateries such as Broadway Pizza, known for its Memphis-style pies and Elvis memorabilia. Residents can browse the work of local artisans at shops such as Bead Couture and Mbabazi House of Style, or venture off the street to Society Memphis Skatepark and Coffee, an indoor skatepark and café.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
