Greenville Elementary School

Summary:

Greenville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenville, Alabama, serving grades 3-4 with 281 students. The school is part of the Butler County School District, which is ranked 98 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Greenville Elementary School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (around 68-69%) and a high percentage of students (over 75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are generally lower than the Butler County and Alabama state averages. However, the school's African American and Special Education students perform relatively better compared to the overall school performance, ranking in the top half of Alabama elementary schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, the nearby Fort Deposit Elementary School, which is part of the Lowndes County School District, performs even worse than Greenville Elementary School, with lower test scores and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This highlights the broader educational challenges faced by schools in the region, which may require a more comprehensive, district-level approach to address. Additionally, the slightly higher spending per student at the nearby WO Parmer Elementary School does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that targeted interventions and support services may be crucial for improving the performance of schools like Greenville Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
