Summary

O'Bannon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Greenville, Mississippi, with an enrollment of 522 students. The school is part of the Western Line School District, which is ranked 84 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

O'Bannon Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 13.8% to 25.9%, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) exams are generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025 projected scores, O'Bannon's 3rd grade ELA proficiency is 48.8% compared to the state's 49.4%, and its 6th grade math proficiency is 31.8% compared to the state's 52.9%. Additionally, 100% of O'Bannon's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Riverside Elementary and Akin Elementary, which are within the Greenville Public Schools district, O'Bannon's performance is generally lower, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores. Additionally, O'Bannon's statewide ranking has declined from 127th out of 406 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 215th out of 383 in 2024-2025, with its star rating dropping from 3 to 2 over this period. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and stronger science proficiency suggest potential areas for improvement.
