High Schools in Greenwood-Leflore Cons School District

The Greenwood-Leflore Cons School District in Mississippi is home to three high schools: Greenwood High School, Amanda Elzy High School, and Leflore County High School. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three high schools are performing well below the state average on academic measures, with no clear standout schools in the district.

The high schools in the Greenwood-Leflore Cons School District are consistently ranked in the bottom half of Mississippi high schools, with Leflore County High School ranking 223rd out of 228 schools. None of the schools have received more than 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. Academically, the proficiency rates on the Mississippi Academic Assessment Program (MAAP) tests are significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with Algebra I proficiency rates ranging from just 17.5% to 27.5%, compared to the state average of 67.4%.

Compounding the academic challenges, all three high schools have 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. The racial demographics of the schools are also noteworthy, with predominantly African American and Hispanic student bodies, raising questions about educational equity and the potential for systemic barriers hindering the success of these students. Overall, the data suggests that the high schools in the Greenwood-Leflore Cons School District face significant and persistent challenges that will require concerted efforts to address and improve educational outcomes for the students in this district.
