School Facility Conditions

The physical condition of 148 Memphis-Shelby County Schools (MSCS) school buildings, from MSCS’s capital-planning facility condition assessments. The Facility Condition Index (FCI) compares a building’s repair need to what it would cost to replace it — higher means more repair need. Covers MSCS traditional (zone) buildings only; charter schools are not included.

20-year repair need

$2.30B

Across 148 buildings, 36.4% of their $6.31B combined replacement value.

Needed now or within 2 years

$224.0M

$28.6M immediate; the 1–2 year figure is $195.3M.

Median 5-year FCI

iZone is MSCS’s school-improvement designation and cuts across the four geographic quadrants, so its buildings are counted in iZone only, not in their quadrant.

Where the repair need is

141 of 149 buildings mapped from verified school coordinates, shaded by 5-year FCI. Darker means more repair need relative to replacement value. 8 are not mapped: buildings without a school number or without assessment values.

  • Under 0.05
  • 0.05 – 0.10
  • 0.10 – 0.15
  • 0.15 – 0.20
  • 0.20 and over

Building age and repair need are only loosely related

Each dot is one school building: age against its 5-year Facility Condition Index (higher means more repair need relative to replacement value). Across all buildings the link is weak (correlation about 0.2): some of the oldest buildings are in better shape than much newer ones. Follows the region filter and search above.

Hollis F. Price Middle CollegeNortheastNo assessment values in the source export — a data gap, not a zero.

Data gap: assessment date and method not stated

The export this page is built from does not say who conducted the assessments or when, or define the FCI horizons precisely, so no vintage is shown. It is republished by Memphis Education Fund from MSCS’s Blueprint for Greatness capital-planning materials; a direct pull from the MSCS source is being evaluated.

Data gap: one building has no assessment values

Hollis F. Price Middle College: listed in the source with every measure blank. Shown as a gap and left out of every total and median above.

Data gap: 7 buildings not yet tied to a TDOE school number

Avon-Lenox High School; Dexter School - Elementary; Dexter School - Middle; Gordon K8 Achievement Academy; Invictus; Norris Achievement Academy; Northeast Prep Academy. The source identifies buildings by name only, and these names could not be matched to a school safely. They are included in the totals above but are not linked to school-performance data. 10 further buildings were matched by name evidence and await confirmation.
