Summary

Leakesville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 426 students in grades PK-4 in Leakesville, Mississippi, which is part of the Greene County School District. While the district is ranked 50 out of 130 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating, Leakesville Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating, ranging from 132nd to 326th out of Mississippi's elementary schools and from 1 to 3 stars out of 5.

Academically, Leakesville Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the MAAP assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, especially in recent years. For example, in 2024-2025, Leakesville's 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 43.8% compared to the state's 49.4%, and its 4th grade Math proficiency is 43.8% compared to the state's 56.6%. In contrast, the nearby Sand Hill Elementary School and Central Elementary School have higher proficiency rates, often exceeding the state and district averages. Additionally, Leakesville Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 15.1% in 2020-2021 to 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Leakesville Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 15.6 in recent years, which is comparable to the nearby schools. The high-poverty nature of the region is evident, as Leakesville Elementary and the surrounding schools in the George County School District all have 100% free and reduced lunch rates. Addressing the root causes of the academic and attendance issues at Leakesville Elementary, while leveraging the resources and expertise of the broader educational community in the region, will be crucial for improving the school's performance and supporting the success of its students.
