Raleigh-Egypt High School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raleigh-Egypt High School is a secondary school (grades 9-12) located in Raleigh, a section of Memphis, Tennessee. It is part of the Memphis City Schools district. This school was originally part of the Shelby County school system when it was built in 1969.[citation needed] It fell under Memphis City School system after Raleigh was annexed by Memphis.[citation needed] As of 2006, the school principal is Dr. Oscar Love. The school has an enrollment of approximately 1,000. Although it once had a decent academic reputation, the quality has been in decline for several years and is now an underperforming school like nearly all of the other Memphis City Schools. The Memphis City Schools are the best financed public schools in Tennessee, but are the worst performing academically according to the State of Tennessee education website.[citation needed]
