Summary:
The 38701 zip code area in Greenville, Mississippi is home to 10 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with wide achievement gaps, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population that is entirely economically disadvantaged.
Among the standout schools in the area, Akin Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 164 out of 383 elementary schools in the state. O'Bannon High School and T.L. Weston Middle School are also relatively strong performers, ranking 197 out of 232 high schools and 237 out of 266 middle schools in the state, respectively. However, the data reveals significant variation in performance, with some schools, such as Coleman Middle School, struggling with much lower test scores.
The high chronic absenteeism rates, which average around 23.9% across all schools, and the 100% free or reduced-price lunch eligibility of all students, suggest that the schools in this area are serving a population facing significant socioeconomic challenges. While the data reveals these challenges, it also indicates that improvement is possible, as evidenced by the higher-performing schools in the Greenville Public Schools and Western Line School District.
