Summary:

The 38756 zip code is home to a single public high school, Leland High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Leland School District. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it is facing significant challenges, including a declining statewide ranking, low academic proficiency rates, and a high chronic absenteeism rate.

Leland High School's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 137 out of 226 Mississippi high schools in 2022-2023 to 195 out of 232 in 2024-2025. The school has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its four-year graduation rate of 89.4% is below the state average. Academically, Leland High School lags behind the district and state averages in proficiency rates for Algebra I, English II, and U.S. History, though it performs better in Biology.

The challenges faced by Leland High School are further compounded by the high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population. While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio suggests the potential for more individualized attention, this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and low proficiency rates will be crucial for Leland High School to improve its performance and provide a quality education for the students it serves.
