Summary:
ZIP code 39108 contains just one school: Greenlee Attendance Center, an elementary school serving grades PK through 6 in McCool, MS, as part of Attala County Schools. With 356 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, this is a relatively small, tight-knit school. Nearly all students (99.16%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, placing the school in a high-poverty category, yet that statistic stands in sharp contrast to the school's academic results.
Greenlee Attendance Center is a consistent top performer in Mississippi. It ranked #42 out of 377 elementary schools (89th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025-2026, #33 of 383 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2024-2025, and #36 of 390 (91st percentile, 5 stars) in 2023-2024. The school's science program is exceptional, with 5th grade proficiency hitting 97.5% in 2025-2026 — 26 points above the state. Math is also a strength: in 2025-2026, proficiency ranged from 64.8% in 4th grade to 79.4% in 6th grade, all well above state averages. English Language Arts is more variable — 4th grade reached 81.1% proficiency while 3rd grade was 51.9% — but every grade still outpaces both the district and state.
Compared to its district, Attala County Schools, Greenlee is clearly a standout. While the district ranks #32 of 134 in Mississippi (76th percentile), Greenlee lands in the 89th–91st percentile statewide. The school also reports chronic absenteeism of 22.9%, slightly better than the state (23.9%) and well ahead of the district (31.4%). Because this ZIP code contains no middle or high schools, students must transition to other schools after 6th grade, making the strong foundation Greenlee provides especially valuable.
