Summary

East Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Greenwood, Mississippi, with 223 students. It is part of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, which is ranked 126 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Mississippi elementary schools over the past 5 years, with a 0-star rating. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 22.9% to 27.0% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.4% statewide, and only 15.4% were proficient or better in math, compared to 53.3% statewide.

Interestingly, while East Elementary School is the lowest-performing school in the district, the other nearby schools in the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District (such as Leflore County Elementary, Bankston Elementary, Davis Elementary, Threadgill Primary, and Threadgill Elementary) also perform poorly, with most ranking in the bottom 25% of Mississippi elementary schools. This suggests a systemic issue within the district that extends beyond just East Elementary School.
