Summary:
The Greenville Public Schools district in Mississippi operates 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with an overall ranking in the bottom quartile of Mississippi school districts, a few elementary schools within the district stand out as potential bright spots.
Boyd Elementary School and Trigg Elementary School are the highest-ranked elementary schools in the Greenville district, with rankings of 273rd and 203rd out of 377 Mississippi elementary schools, respectively. These schools have outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, and Trigg Elementary has also achieved the highest 5th-grade Science proficiency rate among the Greenville elementary schools.
However, the majority of the Greenville elementary schools struggle with consistently low performance, with several schools ranked in the bottom quartile of Mississippi elementary schools. This is likely due to the high poverty levels in the district, as all the Greenville elementary schools have 100% of their students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, there are significant funding disparities, with spending per student ranging from $6,950 at Weddington Elementary to $9,047 at Stern Elementary, which may contribute to the performance differences among the schools.
