Greene County High School

Summary:

Greene County High School is a public high school located in Leakesville, Mississippi, serving 440 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Greene County School District, which is ranked 32 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Greene County High School consistently outperforms the state average in standardized test scores, with an 82.1% proficiency rate in Algebra I compared to the state average of 67.4%. However, the school's student population is predominantly White at 78.41%, higher than the nearby George County High School, which has a student population that is 82.34% White. Additionally, Greene County High School has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 100%, indicating significant economic challenges among the student population.

Despite these demographic and economic factors, Greene County High School spends $9,315 per student, which is higher than the $8,612 spent per student at George County High School. This suggests that the Greene County School District is allocating more resources to its high school, which may be contributing to the school's strong academic performance. However, the district may need to address the lack of racial diversity and the economic challenges faced by the school's student population to ensure the continued success and well-being of all its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
