Summary

Green Elementary School is a PK–5 public school in Jackson, Mississippi, serving 365 students as part of the Jackson Public Schools district. Like every nearby comparison school, 100% of Green's students receive free or reduced-price lunch. The school's state ranking has been volatile: after climbing to the 50th percentile (3 stars) in 2022–2023, it has fallen sharply to the 5th percentile (0 stars) in 2025–2026. Meanwhile, the student–teacher ratio has grown from 13.3 to 17.2 over the same period, meaning class sizes are noticeably larger.

One of the most striking patterns is the gap between grade levels. In the most recent testing year, 5th graders scored 43.8% proficient in English Language Arts — close to the district average — while 3rd and 4th graders scored just 16.0% and 16.3%, less than half the district average. This suggests younger students may have been disproportionately affected by post-pandemic disruption. Among nearby schools, Green ranks near the bottom at the 5th percentile, with only Johnson Elementary School (4th percentile) and Boyd Elementary School (2nd percentile) ranking lower. By contrast, McWillie Elementary School (85th percentile) and Casey Elementary School (84th percentile) are top-quartile schools within three miles — all serving similar student populations.

Attendance is a bright spot: Green's chronic absenteeism rate (21.8%) is better than the district (30.1%) and state (23.9%) averages, and far better than nearby Boyd (41.7%) and Johnson (37.4%). This suggests attendance isn't the main obstacle to learning. Green also outperforms nearby charter schools Revive Collegiate and Smilow Collegiate in several subjects. Fifth-grade science scores have swung from 71.4% (above state average) in 2022–2023 to 28.3% in 2024–2025 and 41.7% in 2025–2026, showing the school is capable of much stronger performance. With pockets of success in the upper grades, Green has demonstrated it can improve — the key is replicating that success in the lower grades.
