Summary

Leland School Park is a middle school in the small Delta town of Leland, MS, serving 232 students in grades 6–8. The school serves an extremely high-poverty population—98.7% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—yet it outperforms most of its regional neighbors. The Leland School District ranks 81st statewide (40th percentile, earning 2 stars), which is notably higher than the Hollandale, Sunflower County Consolidated School District, and Greenville Public School District systems that surround it.

The standout strength is mathematics. Leland students achieved 100% proficiency on the Algebra I end-of-course exam in both 2024-2025 and 2023-2024, far exceeding the state average of roughly 67%. Eighth-grade math proficiency hit 54% in 2025-2026, beating the state average of 51.4% and more than tripling Coleman Middle School's rate of 15.5%. Attendance is equally remarkable: chronic absenteeism is just 10.3%, compared with the state rate of 23.9%, and dramatically lower than T.L. Weston Middle School (46.5%) and Coleman Middle School (40.7%) just a few miles away in Greenville.

Science is the relative weak spot, with 8th-grade proficiency at 44% versus the state's 57.8%—a subject where nearby Robert L Merritt Junior High posted a much stronger 67.4% in 2024-2025. English language arts results are mixed: early middle-school reading is competitive with nearby schools, but 8th-grade ELA has room to grow. Still, the school's state ranking has climbed from the 17th to the 30th percentile since 2021-2022, reflecting steady improvement. For parents, Leland School Park offers a compelling combination of strong math instruction, excellent attendance, and an upward trajectory—punching well above its weight in a region where outcomes are often low.
