Greenfield-Central High School

Summary:

Greenfield-Central High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Greenfield, Indiana, with a total enrollment of 1,462 students. The school is part of the Greenfield-Central Community Schools district and has a predominantly White student population, ranging from 89.88% to 92.25% over the past several years.

Academically, Greenfield-Central High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Indiana high schools, with its performance on standardized tests like the SAT and ILEARN generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages. However, the school's proficiency in certain subject areas, such as Biology, lags behind the state and district averages. The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 94.2% over the past five years, which is generally higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like New Palestine High School and Mt Vernon High School, Greenfield-Central High School's academic performance is respectable but not as strong. The school also has a significantly less diverse student population compared to some nearby schools, such as Warren Central High School and James and Rosemary Phalen Leadership Academy High School, which have higher percentages of minority and low-income students. Addressing these areas of potential improvement could help Greenfield-Central High School enhance its overall academic outcomes and better prepare its students for an increasingly diverse society.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
