Greene County High School

Summary:

Greene County High School is a public high school located in Greensboro, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 420 students. The school is part of the Greene County School District, which is ranked 79 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's consistent low performance, ranking between 301 and 382 out of 420-458 Georgia high schools over the past 10 years and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 79% and 91.3% over the past 5 years, with the most recent rate being 86.3% in 2021-2022. However, this is still lower than the nearby Lake Oconee Charter High School, which had a 93.3% graduation rate in 2021-2022. Additionally, Greene County High School's performance on the Georgia Milestones assessments is significantly below the state and county averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 18% of students proficient or better in American Literature and Composition, compared to the state average of 42%.

The high poverty rates, ranging from 97.38% to 97.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch over the past 3 years, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance. When compared to the nearby Morgan County High School and Lake Oconee Charter High School, the performance gap is significant, with the latter consistently outperforming Greene County High School on test scores and graduation rates. To address these challenges, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support, such as increased funding for academic programs, teacher professional development, and student support services.

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.
