Английская Википедия:Greenwood Public School District (Mississippi)
The Greenwood Public School District was a public school district based in Greenwood, Mississippi, United States.
Effective July 1, 2019 the Greenwood and the Leflore County School District consolidated into the Greenwood-Leflore School District.[1]
History
In 1993, white parents in the Greenwood district made plans to look for majority white private schools after the district leadership proposed having a centralized middle school for all students.[2]
David Jordan, a member of the Mississippi Senate, criticized the upcoming Greenwood-Leflore merger since the Leflore district's performance in state tests was worse than that of the Greenwood district; their respective grades from the Mississippi Department of Education circa 2016-2017 were F and C.[3] Circa 2016 the rating of the Greenwood district was D. Unlike most state-mandated school district consolidations, in which a larger district absorbs a smaller district, in this instance two districts of roughly equal size are merging; in 2016 the Greenwood district had 2,846 students while the Leflore district had 2,405 students. Adam Ganucheau and Zachary Oren Smith of Mississippi Today described both districts as being "large".[4]

Demographics
Around 1988 Greenwood High School was almost split evenly between black and white students. In 1998 it was 92% black. Greenwood Junior High School was 97% black. Many white students were instead going to the private school Pillow Academy.[9]
The district had 2,846 students in 2016,[4] and 2,634 in the 2018-2019 school year.[10]
