Summary

Lewisburg Intermediate School in Olive Branch, MS, serves 606 students in grades 4–5 as part of the DeSoto County School District. The school holds a 5-star rating and ranks 25th out of 377 elementary schools in Mississippi for 2025–2026, placing it in the 93rd percentile statewide — far above its district, which earns 3 stars overall. The school has ranked in the top 7% of Mississippi elementary schools for four consecutive years, though its percentile has eased slightly from 98th in 2022–2023 to 93rd today.

Academically, Lewisburg Intermediate posts proficiency rates dramatically above district and state averages. In the latest testing year, 4th-grade math proficiency was 73.6% versus 48.1% for the district and 51.5% statewide; 5th-grade science proficiency was 86.9%, compared with 70.7% districtwide and 71.5% statewide. The contrast with nearby Olive Branch Intermediate School is striking: both are 4–5 intermediate schools in the same district, but Olive Branch Intermediate ranks 221st in the state with 2 stars, and its 4th-grade math proficiency is 36.7% versus 73.6% at Lewisburg. Lewisburg Intermediate also serves a much lower-poverty population, with 19.6% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch versus 62.9% at Olive Branch Intermediate.

The school’s chronic absenteeism rate of 15.2% is well below the district rate of 26.4% and the state rate of 23.9%. Its student-teacher ratio of 15.1 is also slightly better than nearby schools like Olive Branch Intermediate (16.2) and Pleasant Hill Elementary (16.7). Lewisburg Intermediate benefits from a tight feeder cluster: Lewisburg Primary School (PK–1) and Lewisburg Elementary School (2–3) sit within a quarter mile and feed well-prepared students into the intermediate grades, with Lewisburg Elementary posting 81.7% 3rd-grade math proficiency. One caveat: math and ELA proficiency have dipped modestly since 2022–2023, so the trend is worth watching. Still, Lewisburg Intermediate remains one of the highest-performing schools in DeSoto County and the state.
