Summary:
The Greenwood-Leflore Cons School District in Mississippi operates 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district faces significant challenges in student achievement, equity, and overall school performance.
Among the standout schools, Davis Elementary School has the highest performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in several subjects and grade levels. Bankston Elementary School also performs relatively well, with proficiency rates above the district average in many areas. At the high school level, Leflore County High School has the highest graduation rate (89.4%) in the district.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges. All schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9%, which likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, performance on state assessments is generally low across the district, with most schools scoring well below the state averages in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics. The district also has extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instruction, attendance, and support for students and families.
