Summary

Boyd Elementary School in Greenville, MS, is a public elementary school serving 298 students in grades 1–5 as part of the Greenville Public School District. The school serves an extremely high-poverty population, with 100% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, and maintains a moderate student-teacher ratio of 16.3. Boyd's most recent state ranking places it at 248th out of 377 Mississippi schools (34th percentile, 2-star rating), which is slightly better than the district's overall 28th-percentile standing.

One of Boyd's standout strengths is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% is well below the district average of 33.9% and even below the state average of 23.9%. Every other elementary school in the district with available data — including Trigg Elementary School, Weddington Elementary School, Webb Elementary School, Akin Elementary School, and Stern Elementary School — had a higher chronic absenteeism rate. The school has also shown meaningful academic improvement over the past two years. Fifth-grade science proficiency jumped from 31.3% to 61.0%, fourth-grade math rose from 28.1% to 41.5%, and fifth-grade ELA improved from 26.6% to 42.4%. These consistent gains have lifted Boyd from the 17th percentile statewide to the 34th percentile.

Boyd compares well against several nearby schools. It substantially outperforms Sanders Elementary School in the Hollandale district in math and ELA at multiple grade levels, and it even posted better results than Edna M Scott Elementary School in the Leland School District in several 4th- and 5th-grade subjects. Against O'Bannon Elementary School, part of the higher-ranked Western Line Schools, Boyd's results are comparable in most subjects — for example, 42.4% vs. 50.0% in 5th-grade ELA and 61.0% vs. 63.5% in 5th-grade science. However, gaps remain between Boyd and top-performing district schools like Akin Elementary School, which ranks at the 81st percentile. Boyd appears to be a mid-tier school on an upward trajectory, with strong attendance and improving test scores, but still has work to do to bring 5th-grade math and ELA closer to state averages.
