Summary

Amanda Elzy Junior High School is a public middle school in Greenwood, Mississippi, serving grades 6-8 with 211 students. The school is part of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, which is ranked 126 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Compared to the nearby Greenwood Middle School (273 students) and Leflore Legacy Academy (227 students), Amanda Elzy Junior High School is a relatively small school.

Amanda Elzy Junior High School consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 9.4% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 24.1% for the district and 46.7% for the state. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, with 23.9% of students chronically absent in the 2022-2023 school year, nearly double the state average.

Despite these challenges, Amanda Elzy Junior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10 students per teacher, which could be a potential strength. However, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may need to be addressed. The school also serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic underperformance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
