Greenland Middle School

Q: Is Greenland Middle School a good school?

Greenland Middle School ranks 184 th of 335 Arkansas middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Greenland Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Greenland School District in Arkansas, with 219 students. While a relatively small school, Greenland Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arkansas middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 184 out of 335 middle schools and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenland Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates across all subject areas and grade levels, with 2023-2024 proficiency rates in English Language Arts (23.7%), Reading (25.6%), and Mathematics (35.3%) significantly below the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, and 36.4%, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.94% to 72.6% 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. However, the school's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 13.3 over the past three school years, could be leveraged as strengths if the resources are used effectively.

When comparing Greenland Middle School to the nearby Prairie Grove School District, it is clear that the school is underperforming academically. For example, Prairie Grove Junior High School, which is just 8 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in all subject areas and is ranked much higher (61st out of 335 middle schools) than Greenland Middle School. However, one bright spot for Greenland Middle School is its performance in Algebra, where 76.5% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of 26.8%.

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.
