Summary:
The Greene County Community School District operates three schools - Greene County Elementary, Greene County High School, and Greene County Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is located in Greene County, Iowa.
Greene County High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 231 out of 338 Iowa high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school outperformed the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 10th and 9th grade students. In contrast, Greene County Elementary and Greene County Middle School both earned a 1-star rating, ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state.
The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.71% at the high school to 51.76% at the elementary school. This may be contributing to the consistently low performance across the district, as evidenced by the schools' rankings and test scores. The district will need to develop targeted strategies to address these equity-related issues and improve educational outcomes for all students.
