Summary:
The Greene County School District in Mississippi is home to three elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. While the schools share a common district, they exhibit notable differences in their performance, demographics, and resource allocation.
Among the standout schools, Sand Hill Elementary School emerges as the top performer, consistently ranking higher than the other two schools in the district and outperforming the district and state averages in several MAAP test scores, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Leakesville Elementary School and Mc Lain Elementary School generally perform close to or slightly below the district and state averages. Additionally, Sand Hill Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.69%) compared to the other schools.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Leakesville Elementary School, the largest school, spending the least per student ($7,444) and having the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.9). Meanwhile, Sand Hill Elementary School and Mc Lain Elementary School spend more per student ($8,607 and $8,890, respectively) and have higher student-teacher ratios. These differences in resource allocation may contribute to the performance variations observed among the schools.
