Summary:
Leflore Legacy Academy is the sole middle school located in Greenwood, Mississippi, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 227 students. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, ranking 220 out of 266 middle schools in the state and holding a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts range from 19.2% to 31.6%, well below the state averages of 37.3% to 46.7%. Similarly, Mathematics proficiency rates range from 19.1% to 35%, compared to the state averages of 47.5% to 55.5%. The school's Algebra I and 8th grade Science proficiency rates are also substantially lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%, which likely contributes to the academic struggles.
The challenges faced by Leflore Legacy Academy appear to be systemic, as the Leflore Legacy Academy district is ranked 115 out of 130 in Mississippi and also holds a 1-star rating. This suggests broader issues within the district that may be impacting the school's performance. With a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, the school serves a student population facing significant economic disadvantage, which likely contributes to the high chronic absenteeism and academic challenges.
