Summary:

ZIP code 38930 in Greenwood, Mississippi includes 11 schools serving 3,322 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with six elementary schools, three middle schools, and two high schools, all within a high-poverty area where free and reduced-price lunch eligibility ranges from 99.61% to 100%. Nearly every school belongs to the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, which ranks 121st of 134 Mississippi districts, while Leflore Legacy Academy operates as its own district and ranks 118th.

Among elementary schools, Bankston Elementary School is the strongest, ranking 326th of 377 and leading local elementary schools in 3rd grade ELA (39.6%) and 5th grade ELA (42.5%) in 2025-26. Leflore Legacy Academy is the top middle school, with an 8th grade science proficiency of 50.7% (only 7 points below the state) and solid Algebra I scores, plus chronic absenteeism of just 17.6%. At the high school level, Greenwood High School/Votech outranks Amanda Elzy High School, achieving 47.5% in Biology and 59.5% in U.S. History, though its chronic absenteeism is 40.6%. Amanda Elzy High counters with excellent attendance (12.4% chronic absenteeism) and a graduation rate of 88.4%, nearly matching the state's 89.2%.

Academic outcomes across the ZIP code remain low overall, yet several bright spots stand out. In 2024-25, Davis Elementary School posted 6th grade math proficiency of 69.7% — 17 points above the state average — while science scores are a relative strength at Davis (63.2% in 5th grade science), East Elementary School (51.4%), and Leflore Legacy Academy. Chronic absenteeism varies dramatically, from 12.4% at Amanda Elzy High to 40.6% at Greenwood High, yet attendance and achievement do not always move together. Graduation rates are closer to the state average than test scores would suggest, and the elementary schools show the widest performance spread, from Threadgill Elementary at the 1st percentile to Bankston at the 14th, proving improvement is possible even in this challenging context.
