Summary

Davis Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Greenwood, Mississippi, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, which is ranked 126 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Davis Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.4% to 27.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests, is consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.4%. The nearby schools in the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, such as Leflore County Elementary School, East Elementary School, and Threadgill Elementary School, all have similar academic performance and demographic characteristics, suggesting that the challenges faced by Davis Elementary School are not unique but rather systemic issues within the district.

Davis Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools, with a ranking between 327 and 345 out of 381-390 schools over the past few years, placing the school in the bottom 10-15% of elementary schools in the state. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Davis Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's low academic performance. Addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving student outcomes. However, the low ranking and 0-star rating of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District suggest that the challenges faced by Davis Elementary School are not isolated but rather reflective of broader systemic issues within the district, which will require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to drive meaningful improvements.
