Greene City Technical Elementary School

Q: Is Greene City Technical Elementary School a good school?

Greene City Technical Elementary School ranks 329 th of 497 Arkansas elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Greene City Technical Elementary School is a public elementary school in Paragould, Arkansas, serving 495 students in grades 2-3 and part of the Greene County Technical School District.

While the school's test scores are generally below state and district averages, there are some bright spots. For example, the school's 3rd-grade ACT Aspire scores in 2022-2023 were higher than the state averages in English, Math, and Reading. Additionally, the school has seen a steady decline in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 60.93% in 2020-2021 to 48.48% in 2022-2023, which could indicate improving economic conditions in the surrounding community. The student-teacher ratio has also improved, decreasing from 13.7 in 2020-2021 to 15 in 2022-2023, which can lead to more personalized attention for students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Greene City Technical Intermediate School and Marmaduke Elementary School, Greene City Technical Elementary School's performance is mixed, with some subjects performing better and others performing worse. However, the school's declining free and reduced lunch rates and improving student-teacher ratio are positive indicators that could contribute to future academic improvements.

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.
