Summary:
The Greene County School District in Mississippi has one middle school, Leakesville Junior High School, which stands out as a high-performing institution within the district. This middle school serves students in grades 6-8 and has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top 25% of middle schools in the state.
Leakesville Junior High School has demonstrated impressive academic achievements, outperforming both the Greene County School District and the state of Mississippi in several key areas. The school's 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 64.9% is significantly higher than the district's 60.2% and the state's 40.8%. Similarly, the school's 6th and 7th grade Mathematics proficiency rates of 70.4% and 79.8% exceed the district's 60.6% and 77.3%, as well as the state's 51.8% and 57.2%. This strong academic performance is particularly noteworthy given the school's 100% free/reduced lunch rate, which is often associated with lower academic achievement.
While Leakesville Junior High School's overall performance is impressive, there are a few areas where the school could potentially improve, such as 5th grade Mathematics proficiency (28.2% vs. 36.4% district, 53.7% state) and 8th grade English Language Arts proficiency (38.6% vs. 43.4% district, 42% state). Nevertheless, the school's consistent 4-star rating, outperformance of district and state averages, and ability to support a high-poverty student population make it a standout middle school in the Greene County School District.
