Summary:
The 72737 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Greenland School District, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools face socioeconomic challenges with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Greenland Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 153 out of 330 Arkansas middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Greenland Middle School's strong performance, particularly in English, where students outperform the state average in all grade levels, suggests the school may have strategies worth replicating at the other schools in the district. Meanwhile, Greenland High School has shown improvement, moving from 214 out of 290 high schools in 2020-2021 to 178 out of 295 in 2022-2023, indicating the school is making progress and could be a school to watch.
The schools in the 72737 zip code have a predominantly white student population, with the next largest racial group being Hispanic. However, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools suggest the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student performance, particularly in math, where Greenland Elementary School and Greenland High School fall well below the state averages. Further investigation may be needed to understand if certain student groups are being underserved or facing disproportionate challenges.
