High Schools in Greenville Public Schools

The Greenville Public Schools district in Mississippi has only one high school, Greenville High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments compared to the state average.

Greenville High School has an enrollment of 871 students, the vast majority of whom (99.31%) are African American and come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 99.89% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,077, its academic performance remains well below the state averages across all subject areas, including Algebra I, English II, Biology, and U.S. History. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 16.2% of Greenville High School students were proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 67.4%.

The persistent underperformance of Greenville High School over the past three school years suggests that the school and district have not implemented effective strategies or interventions to address the academic challenges faced by the students. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students likely contributes to the school's struggles, and the district must re-evaluate its resource allocation and support systems to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
