Progress is happening in Memphis schools. But opportunity is still not distributed equally.
The 2026 Memphis State of Education Report found that in three regions where roughly 70% of students are economically disadvantaged, only 21–29% of schools earned an A or B rating.
That’s one reason 901STEM exists.
Our goal isn’t to replace the work schools and educators are already doing. It’s to help expand access—to hands-on STEM experiences, classroom resources and community partnerships that can give more students opportunities to discover what they can do.
Amplify what works. Fill the gaps. Expand access.
