Summary:
The city of Grenada, Mississippi is home to three public schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Grenada Elementary School, Grenada High, and Grenada Middle School. These schools are part of the Grenada School District, which has a 5-star rating and ranks 11th out of 130 districts in the state.
Among the three schools, Grenada Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 26-37 elementary schools in Mississippi over the past 3 years and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores significantly exceed state averages, with 67.1% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA (compared to 49.4% statewide) and 82.3% of 4th graders proficient or better in math (versus 56.6% statewide). Grenada High and Grenada Middle School also perform well, with 4-star ratings and strong graduation rates of 89.4%.
While the Grenada School District as a whole is a strong performer, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch participation, ranging from 67.27% at the high school to 74.91% at the middle school, suggest significant socioeconomic challenges facing the community. This may contribute to the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates seen across the district. Overall, the Grenada School District appears to be providing a quality education to its students, with the elementary school serving as a standout example of what can be achieved even in the face of economic hardship.
