Greenland Elementary School

Q: Is Greenland Elementary School a good school?

Greenland Elementary School ranks 333 rd of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Greenland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 279 students in grades K-4 in Greenland, Arkansas. The school is part of the Greenland School District, which is ranked 180 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Greenland Elementary School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 333 out of 497 schools and a 2-star rating.

Greenland Elementary School faces several key challenges that contribute to its consistently low performance compared to state and regional averages. The school consistently underperforms the state average in all subject areas tested, with only 26.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.2% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 33.8% and 36.4%, respectively. Additionally, Greenland Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.76% to 78.87% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 15.1 over the past three years, which could suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

When comparing Greenland Elementary School to nearby schools, the performance gap is quite significant. For example, Vandergriff Elementary School in the Fayetteville School District has much higher proficiency rates, with 63.4% of students proficient or better in ELA and 64.6% in Math, compared to Greenland's 26.1% and 27.2%, respectively. This persistent underperformance suggests that Greenland Elementary School will need to implement a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improving student outcomes, including targeted interventions, professional development for teachers, and increased community engagement and support.

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.
