Best Public Schools in Grenada, MS


Summary:

The Grenada School District in Mississippi consists of three schools - Grenada Elementary School, Grenada High, and Grenada Middle School - serving students from elementary through high school. The district is located in a predominantly low-income area, as evidenced by the extremely high free and reduced-price lunch rates across all three schools.

Grenada Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the district, consistently ranking among the top 26 elementary schools in Mississippi and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with 77% or more of 3rd-5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, while still above state averages, the English Language Arts proficiency rates at the middle school level lag behind the elementary and high school levels, presenting an opportunity for improvement.

Across the district, students demonstrate particular strength in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 53.3% to 81.2% - outperforming the state averages. However, the significant difference in per-student spending between the high school ($10,653) and middle school ($7,304) suggests potential funding inequities within the Grenada School District, which may impact educational outcomes. Overall, the district appears to be performing well, but the high poverty levels and funding disparities present areas for further investigation and improvement.
