Greenlee Attendance Center

Greenlee Attendance Center serves 317 students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade in McCool, Mississippi. Its composite score of 9.3 out of 10 earns an Exceptional rating — and the numbers behind that label are hard to argue with. Greenlee ranks #1 among all 862 public schools in Mississippi, outperforming 100% of schools in the state.

That standing holds at every level: it's also #1 of 436 elementary schools statewide. A growth score of 9.5 drives much of that performance. Students here don't just arrive at grade level — they advance quickly once enrolled, a signal that instruction is doing active work rather than coasting on demographics.

The academic score of 8.6 reinforces that the gains are real, not noise. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.3:1, class sizes stay low, giving teachers the room to move students forward at a consistent pace. Within Attala County School District, Greenlee holds the top spot among all four district schools.

For families weighing options in McCool or the surrounding area, this school's record sets a standard that no comparable elementary school in Mississippi has matched.

Located in a rural area, Greenlee Attendance Center may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
