High Schools in Greene County School District

The Greene County School District in Mississippi is home to a single high school, Greene County High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 35 high schools in the state over the past three years. This 4-star rated school serves a diverse student population, with a majority of white students (78.41%) and a significant percentage of African American students (19.77%).

Greene County High School's academic performance is exceptional, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the state average in core subjects like Algebra I (82.1% vs. 67.4%), English II (48.7% vs. 46.2%), Biology (82.7% vs. 60.6%), and U.S. History (93.9% vs. 70.8%). This impressive achievement is particularly noteworthy given that the school serves a population where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

The school's favorable learning environment is further supported by a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and per-student spending of $9,315 (2018-2019 school year). These factors, combined with the school's consistent high rankings and strong academic performance, make Greene County High School a standout institution within the Greene County School District and the state of Mississippi.
