Summary

Akin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 313 students in grades 1-5 in Greenville, Mississippi. The school is part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which is ranked 104 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Akin Elementary consistently outperforms the Greenville Public Schools district and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Akin's 3rd grade students scored 57.4% proficient or better in ELA, compared to 35.2% for the district and 49.4% for the state. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating in recent years, from a ranking of 245 out of 402 schools and a 2-star rating in 2014-2015 to a ranking of 164 out of 383 schools and a 3-star rating in 2024-2025. Additionally, Akin Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 33.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Akin Elementary outperforms the Greenville Public Schools district on test scores, several nearby schools in the same district, such as Trigg Elementary and Boyd Elementary, have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics. Akin Elementary also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15.4 to 17.3 over the past few years, which may impact the level of individual attention and support students receive.
