Summary:
The Greenville Public School District contains just one high school, Greenville High School, which serves grades 9–12 in a community where 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. This single school represents the district at the secondary level, and its performance data tells a clear story of a high-poverty school facing severe academic and attendance challenges.
Academically, Greenville High School ranks near the bottom of Mississippi high schools. It has received a 0-star rating for three consecutive years and currently sits at the 4th percentile statewide (214th out of 224 schools). Proficiency rates are far below state averages, with the widest gaps in Algebra I (14.1% proficient vs. 66.0% statewide, a 51.9-point deficit) and English II (22.6% vs. 49.3%). There are relative bright spots: Biology proficiency reached 42.8% in 2025–2026, and U.S. History was the school’s best subject the prior year at 46.5%. Still, even these strengths trail state averages significantly.
Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism is a major concern. Nearly 45% of students are chronically absent, almost double the state rate of 23.9%, and the graduation rate of 78.1% is over 11 points below the state’s 89.2%. The student-to-teacher ratio of 13.9 is favorable, suggesting class size is not the primary issue. One notable data quirk: for most subjects the school and district scores are identical, confirming this is the district’s only tested high school, though a 2024–2025 Algebra I discrepancy (district 26.2% vs. school 18.3%) warrants investigation. Overall, Greenville High School is in urgent need of systemic support around attendance, math and English instruction, and graduation pathways.
