Summary

O'Bannon Elementary School serves about 543 students in grades PK-6 in Greenville, MS, as part of the Western Line Schools district. The school ranks in the 44th percentile of Mississippi elementary schools, earning 2 stars, and serves a student body where 99.45% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's biggest standout is attendance: just 13.8% of students are chronically absent, compared with 23.5% for the Western Line Schools district and 23.9% statewide. That's the lowest rate in the surrounding area by a wide margin—Akin Elementary, the region's top-scoring school, has a 32.5% chronic absenteeism rate, and Stern Elementary sits at 33.8%. O'Bannon also posts impressive 6th grade reading scores, with 68% of students proficient in English Language Arts—20 points above the state average and far above Riverside Elementary's 42.8%.

The early grades are a weaker spot. Fourth grade ELA proficiency sits at 36.1% versus 52.4% statewide, and 3rd grade math has dropped sharply from 81.6% to 44.1% over three years. Still, the steady climb in 6th grade reading suggests students gain real momentum by upper elementary. O'Bannon ranks above most Greenville Public School District schools like Boyd Elementary, Weddington Elementary, Stern Elementary, and Webb Elementary, though it trails Akin Elementary and Trigg Elementary. One trend to watch is the student-teacher ratio, which has climbed from 10.9 to 15.0 in three years. Overall, O'Bannon is beating expectations for a high-poverty school, particularly in attendance and 6th grade literacy.
