Summary

Davis Elementary School is a K-6 elementary school in Greenwood, Mississippi, serving 377 students in the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, a district ranked in the bottom 10% statewide. The school serves a deeply economically disadvantaged population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism is a serious issue, with 23.4% of students chronically absent in 2023-24, and the school's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is the highest among its district elementary peers.

Academically, Davis Elementary School has ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools for six consecutive years, placing between the 9th and 16th percentile. Proficiency rates trail state averages substantially: in 2025-26, only 21% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts versus 48.5% statewide, and 8.6% were proficient in math versus 48.8% statewide. However, there are notable bright spots. In 2025-26, 63.2% of Davis 5th graders scored proficient in science, far exceeding the district average of 49.4% and approaching the state average of 71.5%. Likewise, 6th grade math reached 69.7% proficiency in 2024-25, well above the state average of 52.9%, before settling at 36.6% in 2025-26 — still nearly double the district's 20.7%.

Compared with nearby schools, Davis generally outperforms Threadgill Elementary and Leflore Elementary, but trails Bankston Elementary School, which serves a nearly identical student population yet posts stronger results across grades — about 36% versus 28% proficiency in ELA, and 28% versus 19% in math. Performance is also unstable, with proficiency rates swinging sharply from year to year and grade to grade. Early-grade math is the most urgent concern, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency stuck in the single digits or mid-teens. Attendance alone does not explain outcomes: Leflore Elementary has far lower chronic absenteeism but similar test scores, while Bankston Elementary School achieves better results with only modestly better attendance. For parents, the picture is mixed: Davis faces real systemic challenges, but its strong 5th grade science and 6th grade math results show what is possible when instruction and conditions align.
