Summary

Weddington Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 1-5 in Greenville, Mississippi, with 219 students. 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. Weddington Elementary has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past decade, from a high of 143 out of 402 Mississippi elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a ranking of 337 out of 383 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year.

Weddington Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 33.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) are also consistently lower than the Greenville Public Schools district and the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.2% of 3rd graders at Weddington were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 35.2% for the district and 49.4% for the state. Additionally, 100% of Weddington Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

When comparing Weddington Elementary to other nearby schools in the Greenville Public Schools district, it performs significantly worse on most metrics. For instance, Akin Elementary and Trigg Elementary have much higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Weddington. The school's declining performance over the past decade suggests that it is struggling to keep up with state-level performance standards, and addressing the root causes of these issues, such as chronic absenteeism and poverty, will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Weddington Elementary.
