Summary:

The city of Greenville, Mississippi is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Greenville Public Schools district. The data reveals significant challenges facing these schools, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism rates, and widespread economic disadvantage among the student population.

Among the standout schools, Akin Elementary School ranks the highest in the district, with strong test scores and a statewide ranking of 164 out of 383 elementary schools. Trigg Elementary School also stands out, with an impressive 87.8% 5th grade science proficiency rate, significantly higher than the district and state averages. At the middle and high school levels, T.L. Weston Middle School and O'Bannon High School boast the highest Algebra I proficiency rates in the district.

However, the overall data paints a concerning picture, with the Greenville Public Schools district consistently underperforming the state averages on standardized tests, and all schools in the district having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these systemic issues, including the high chronic absenteeism rates, will be crucial in supporting the students and families in the Greenville community and improving educational outcomes across the district.
