High Schools (Grades 9-12) in East Memphis & the Poplar Corridor
12 high schools (grades 9-12) in East Memphis & the Poplar Corridor: 11 registered for EFS and 7 approved for the ESA. From White Station to Ridgeway and River Oaks, the Poplar Avenue corridor holds the region's biggest single-sex prep schools, two Catholic parish schools, a Jewish K-12 and several schools for learning differences.
Funding note: EFS pays the same amount in grade 12 as in kindergarten, so high school families usually pair it with school aid, MOST or the Dual Enrollment Grant. Mostly zoned to Memphis-Shelby County Schools, so income-eligible students can usually use the ESA.
