Summary:
The 38941 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools - Leflore County High School and Leflore County Elementary School, both of which are part of the Greenwood-Leflore Cons School District. These schools consistently underperform compared to state averages across a range of metrics, including test scores, school rankings, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Both Leflore County High School and Leflore County Elementary School are ranked in the bottom 10% of their respective school types in Mississippi, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Their proficiency rates in core subject areas are significantly lower than state averages, ranging from 11.9% to 43.2% at the high school and 11.1% to 56.5% at the elementary school, compared to state averages of 37.3% to 69.7% and 46.7% to 66.3%, respectively. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 23.9%, well above the state average.
Despite having relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools serve a high-poverty student population, with 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the schools may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of their underperformance and support the needs of their disadvantaged student population.
