Summary

East Elementary School in Greenwood, MS, is a small public school serving 261 students in grades 3 through 5 within the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, a district ranked near the bottom of Mississippi. The school has historically ranked in the lowest statewide percentiles, though it has shown recent improvement—moving from the 3rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 7th percentile in 2025–26 (352 of 377 schools). All 100% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, and the student–teacher ratio of 13.3 is favorable compared with many peer schools.

Academically, East Elementary posts proficiency rates well below state averages in English Language Arts and Math, but there are important bright spots. Fifth grade ELA proficiency reached 41.6% in 2025–26, close to the best in the district at Davis Elementary (42.8%) and Bankston Elementary (42.5%), and well ahead of Threadgill Elementary (33.3%). Fifth grade science also jumped to 51.4%, beating Bankston (42.4%) and Threadgill (37.3%). However, math is a concern: proficiency declines from 18.8% in 3rd grade to 15.3% in 5th grade—the opposite of the district trend—and East trails Bankston significantly in math (15.3% vs. 27.3% in 5th grade).

Chronic absenteeism at East (22.9%) is in line with the district average (23.8%) and better than several nearby schools, including Threadgill Elementary (26.6%) and Claudine Brown Elementary (25.4%). The school's recent gains—including a 19.2-point jump in 5th grade ELA—suggest positive momentum. Even compared with Marshall Elementary in the Carroll County School District, which has a lower poverty rate, East's 5th grade ELA is stronger (41.6% vs. 35.5%). In short, East Elementary is on an upward path, with real strengths in 5th grade reading and science, while math instruction remains the most important area for improvement.
