Summary:
The Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District in Mississippi is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. These schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and consistently low academic performance compared to state averages.
Among the standout schools in the district, Bankston Elementary School stands out, ranking 299 out of 383 Mississippi elementary schools and performing above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Leflore County Elementary School also performs better than the district average in several subject areas and grade levels, particularly in 6th grade Mathematics and 5th grade Science.
However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools having a chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools consistently perform below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there are pockets of success within the district, and identifying and replicating the practices and strategies used in these higher-performing areas could help the district improve overall academic achievement.
