Summary:
Zip code 38703 in Greenville, Mississippi is served by two public elementary schools, Boyd Elementary School and Trigg Elementary School, both part of the Greenville Public School District and both serving grades 1 through 5 with 100% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch.
Trigg Elementary is the standout in this area. Its state ranking jumped from 332nd in 2023–2024 to 178th in 2025–2026, moving from the bottom 15th percentile to the top half of Mississippi schools. Trigg now earns a 3-star rating and outperforms Boyd in most subjects, particularly science, where 5th grade proficiency reached 86.1% in 2025–2026 — nearly 15 points above the state average and 25 points above Boyd’s 61%. Trigg also leads in 3rd grade ELA (59% vs. 42.4%) and 3rd grade math (56.4% vs. 45%). However, Trigg’s success fades by 5th grade, where its ELA and math proficiency (36.1% each) actually falls below Boyd’s (42.4% and 39%). Boyd Elementary offers a more consistent, though less impressive, profile, improving from 324th to 248th in state rank over the same period and earning 2 stars.
Both schools keep chronic absenteeism well below the district average of 33.9% — Boyd at 20.4% and Trigg at 23.1% — a positive sign for high-poverty schools. Trigg also benefits from a slightly lower student-teacher ratio (13.8 vs. 16.3). The clearest shared concern is the drop-off in proficiency from 3rd to 5th grade at both schools, suggesting that older elementary students need extra support in reading and math. Overall, while the district ranks in the bottom third of Mississippi, these two schools are relative bright spots — especially Trigg, which has become a genuine success story in just two years.
