Summary:
Zip code 39108 contains exactly one elementary school—Greenlee Attendance Center—serving 356 students in grades PK–6 in the rural McCool area as part of Attala County Schools. Because there is only one school in the zip code, the most meaningful comparisons are against district and state averages. Greenlee is a high-performing rural school, ranking in the top 11% of Mississippi elementary schools for the past three years, though its star rating recently slipped from 5 stars to 4 stars.
Academically, Greenlee is a standout. Despite 99.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's overall proficiency average was 71.2% in 2025–2026 and 74.9% in 2024–2025, outpacing the district by 9–12 points and the state by 18–21 points. Science is exceptional: 97.5% of 5th graders scored proficient in 2025–2026, far above the state average of 71.5%. Math is also a strength, though it showed some decline from an average of 81.9% proficiency in 2024–2025 to 71.2% in 2025–2026. English language arts results are more volatile, with 3rd grade dropping from 75.7% to 51.9% while 4th grade jumped from 64.3% to 81.1%.
There are areas to watch. Chronic absenteeism is 22.9%, which is lower than the district's 31.4% but still means about one in five students misses significant school time. The state rank slipped slightly from the 91st percentile to the 89th percentile, though Greenlee remains a top-tier school. Overall, Greenlee Attendance Center delivers strong academic results in a high-poverty rural setting, and its main challenges are maintaining year-to-year consistency and reducing absenteeism.
