Summary

Leakesville Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Leakesville, Mississippi, serving 423 students in the Greene County Schools district, where nearly all students (99.29%) come from economically disadvantaged households. The school's state ranking has bounced around quite a bit over the past decade. In 2025–2026, it ranked 212th out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools (44th percentile, 2 stars)—an improvement from the previous year but below its 3-star showing in 2022–2023, when it ranked 143rd. The school's best recent year was 2018–2019, when it ranked 132nd.

One of the most striking things about Leakesville is its attendance record. Despite having near-universal poverty, only 15.1% of students were chronically absent in 2023–2024—well below the district rate of 19.9% and the state rate of 23.9%. Even wealthier nearby schools struggle more with attendance: LT Taylor Intermediate School has 32.0% chronic absenteeism and Rocky Creek Elementary School has 28.6%. Academically, Leakesville is the stronger of Greene County's two smaller elementary campuses, outperforming Mclain Attendance Center in every grade and subject—most dramatically in 4th grade math (50.6 vs. 31.6). Fourth grade math is a relative bright spot, essentially matching the state average.

There are some concerns worth noting. The student–teacher ratio jumped from about 12.6 to 15.9 in a single year, suggesting larger class sizes or reduced staffing. Test scores have also been volatile, swinging up and down from year to year, which may reflect small class cohorts. While Leakesville generally beats its district average, most scores trail the state average, and the surrounding George County School District (a 4-star district) has schools that outperform Leakesville by wide margins. Still, the school showed encouraging progress in 2025–2026, moving up 28 spots in the rankings. If it can maintain its strong attendance culture and stabilize staffing, it has a solid foundation to build on.
