Summary

Leland School Park is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Leland School District in Leland, Mississippi. With 248 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of middle schools in the state, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Leland School Park faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 10.3% to 23.9% over the past few years, well above the state average. The school's test scores are also consistently well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 39.2% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 46.7%. In mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, ranging from 23.9% to 40% across the grade levels. Additionally, 100% of Leland School Park's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population.

When comparing Leland School Park to nearby schools, such as Simmons Junior High School and Robert L. Merritt Junior High School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. These nearby schools have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and higher SchoolDigger rankings. Leland School Park's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, with little to no improvement in test scores or other key metrics, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic challenges that are not being adequately addressed.
