Summary

Leflore County Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Itta Bena, Mississippi, with 303 students. The school 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. Leflore County Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools over the past 5 years, with a ranking between 344-358 out of 377-390 schools.

The school faces significant challenges, with persistently low academic performance, high poverty and chronic absenteeism rates. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school is projected to have only 20% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 14.5% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 49.4% and 53.3% respectively. Additionally, 100% of Leflore County Elementary School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating an extremely high-poverty student population. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio around 13:1, this has not translated to improved student outcomes.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the Greenwood-Leflore district, such as East Elementary, Threadgill Elementary, and Davis Elementary, also perform poorly on state assessments and have high poverty rates. However, these schools generally outperform Leflore County Elementary across most metrics, suggesting systemic challenges within the district that go beyond just one school. Addressing these root causes will be critical to improving student outcomes at Leflore County Elementary School.
