2008-2009 Rezoning Proposals
Shelby County Schools
Revised 1-24-08

With the construction of a new middle school, near the intersection of North Germantown Road and Memphis Arlington Roads, rezoning is proposed for the following middle schools:

Appling Middle
Arlington Middle

Shadowlawn Middle

The middle school boundary proposed changes accomplish the following:

  • Creates a new school attendance boundary
  • Relieves overcrowding at Arlington Middle, Shadowlawn Middle, Appling MD
  • Creates student demographic enrollments for the new school in keeping with the order of the federal district court

3 SCS schools are affected in this proposal; 603 students will be rezoned to the new middle school.

Details of the proposal

The new middle school being constructed on the campus of Bon Lin Elementary school, under this proposal, will be fed from Bon Lin Elementary enrollment, a portion of Rivercrest Elementary enrollment, and a portion of Lakeland Elementary enrollment. The school will take in students currently enrolled at Shadowlawn Middle, Arlington Middle and Appling Middle schools. It is recommended that the school open August 2008 serving grades 6-8 and the proposed rezoning enrollment will equate to approximately 625 students. 603 students in current grades 5, 6, and 7 are recommended for rezoning to the new middle school. The recommended zone will yield a racial demographic of approximately 27% African American and 67% White.

Numbers of students to be rezoned to attend new middle school:

161 from Appling Middle’s attendance zone

5th graders currently attending Bon Lin Elementary

344 from Arlington Middle’s attendance zone

5th graders currently attending Lakeland Elementary

98 from Shadowlawn Middle’s attendance zone

5th graders currently attending Rivercrest Elementary and Bon Lin Elementary

There is no rezoning for any Elementary Schools proposed for 2008-2009.
