Greene City Technical Junior High School

Summary:

Greene City Technical Junior High School is a public secondary school in Paragould, Arkansas, serving grades 8-9 with a total enrollment of 578 students. The school is part of the Greene County Technical School District, which is ranked 131 out of 252 school districts in Arkansas and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Reading are generally lower than the state average, its Mathematics, Algebra, and Geometry proficiency rates are notably higher, particularly in 8th-grade Algebra (84% vs. 62%) and 8th-grade Geometry (100% vs. 75.7%). However, the school's Science proficiency rates are slightly lower than the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.96% to 46.36% over the past three school years, which is higher than the state average. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,047, which is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio has ranged from 13.4 to 14.4 over the past three school years, which is lower than the state average.

The school's strengths in Mathematics and Geometry suggest a strong focus on these subject areas and effective teaching strategies. However, the relatively low proficiency in ELA and Reading could indicate a need for improvement in these areas. The high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, along with the slightly higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio, suggest a focus on supporting students from low-income backgrounds, which may be contributing to the school's overall performance.

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.
