Summary

Greenwood Middle School is a public middle school in Greenwood, Mississippi, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 273 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.

Greenwood Middle School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 35.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 11.6% in 7th grade ELA, 18.9% in 8th grade ELA, 25.6% in 7th grade Math, and 31.2% in 8th grade Science, all of which are well below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Interestingly, the two nearby schools, Amanda Elzy Junior High School and Leflore Legacy Academy, also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the challenges faced by Greenwood Middle School are not unique to the school but rather a systemic issue within the district and the local community. Despite these challenges, Greenwood Middle School's 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I in the 2022-2023 school year stands out as a bright spot, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.
