Summary:
The 38930 zip code area of Greenwood, Mississippi is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages, a few standout schools, such as Bankston Elementary School and Leflore Legacy Academy, are outperforming their peers on state assessments.
The data shows that the district faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels (100% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9%. However, Greenwood High School stands out with the highest graduation rate of 89.4% among the high schools in the area. Additionally, Greenwood High School had the highest proficiency rates in U.S. History, with 59.5% of students proficient or better in 2024-2025.
The data suggests that while the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District is facing significant challenges, there are opportunities to learn from the higher-performing schools within the district and implement best practices to improve outcomes for students across the board. The absence of any alternative school options in the 38930 zip code may also be a gap that could be addressed to better serve the diverse needs of the student population.
