The school is part of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, which is ranked 123 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (over 94%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Leflore County Elementary, Bankston Elementary, and Davis Elementary, which have more diverse student populations. The school consistently performs below the state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with only 24.2% of 3rd graders, 22.4% of 4th graders, and 16.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 57.7%, 57.1%, and 51.7%, respectively. East Elementary School has been ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Mississippi, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of schools statewide over the past four school years.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at East Elementary School (100%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Despite being one of the lowest-performing schools in the state, East Elementary School has not shown significant improvement in its rankings or academic performance over the past four school years, suggesting a need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational strategies, resources, and leadership to identify and address the root causes of the persistent underperformance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
