Summary:
The Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District in Mississippi operates 7 elementary schools serving grades pre-K through 6, with a total enrollment of 2,172 students. While the district as a whole struggles academically, with all schools ranking in the bottom quarter of Mississippi elementary schools, a few standout institutions show promise.
Bankston Elementary School ranks the highest in the district at 319th out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools. It boasts the most diverse student population and outperforms the district and state averages in several subject areas, including 5th grade science. Similarly, Leflore County Elementary School ranks 350th and has the highest 5th grade science proficiency rate in the district.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including consistently low test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to state averages, as well as high rates of economic disadvantage, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these systemic issues, along with the racial disparities observed in the student populations, will be crucial for the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District to improve educational outcomes for its students.
