Summary:
The city of Greenland, Arkansas is home to three schools: Greenland Elementary School, Greenland High School, and Greenland Middle School, all part of the Greenland School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and face significant academic challenges, with all three schools underperforming compared to state averages on standardized tests.
Among the standout schools, Greenland Middle School stands out for its relatively strong performance, ranking 184 out of 335 Arkansas middle schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school performed well on ATLAS and ACT Aspire tests, particularly in Algebra, where 76.5% of students were proficient or better, compared to the district average of 35% and state average of 26.8%. In contrast, Greenland High School struggled in math, with only 13.4% of 10th graders and 17.8% of 9th graders proficient or better on ACT Aspire Math.
The Greenland School District faces significant challenges, with high poverty levels, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 66.17% to 72.76%. Additionally, the statewide rankings for all three schools have declined over the past three years, with Greenland High School dropping from a 2-star to a 1-star rating and Greenland Middle School dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating. These trends suggest that the district requires targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address the academic challenges faced by its schools.
