Summary

Flowood Elementary is a PK-5 school in Flowood, MS, serving 458 students as part of the Rankin County School District, which is one of Mississippi's stronger districts, ranked 25th of 134. It was a top 5-star performer in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, but has since settled into an upper-middle tier, currently ranking 78th of 377 Mississippi elementary schools (79th percentile). Its student body is economically mixed, with about 51% eligible for free/reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 13.8.

Academically, Flowood Elementary generally exceeds state averages but lags its district on most tests. The biggest red flag is 5th grade math, where proficiency has often been far below the district—for example, 54.4% vs. 69.5% in 2025-2026, and a near-30-point gap in 2022-2023. Science, however, is a bright spot, with 82.6% proficient. Notably, nearby Casey Elementary School, despite serving a 100% free/reduced lunch population, ranked higher and had stronger math scores, showing room for improvement. Flowood's free/reduced lunch rate is also higher than some Rankin peers like Highland Bluff Elementary and Northwest Elementary.

Attendance is also a concern: chronic absenteeism has climbed from 8.8% in 2020-2021 to 15.7% in 2023-2024, above district and same-district peers like Highland Bluff Elementary and Northwest Elementary. Additionally, 3rd grade ELA proficiency fell sharply, from 81.1% to 54.4% in two years. Despite these issues, Flowood Elementary still outperforms many non-Rankin schools such as McLeod Elementary School, Spann Elementary School, and Revive Collegiate. With its history of 5-star results, improving attendance and 5th grade math could help restore its standing.
