Greensburg Community Junior High has a predominantly white student population, with over 91% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the nearby Benjamin Rush Middle School (89.94% white) and Batesville Middle School (90.97% white). The school's test scores in English Language Arts are on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, but its Math proficiency rates are below, declining from 32.71% in 2022-2023 to 29.93% in 2023-2024.

Greensburg Community Junior High has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting stable performance compared to its peers. However, the school's lower Math proficiency rates and higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 40.35% to 49.07%) may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby Batesville Middle School, which is part of the higher-ranked Batesville Community School Corp district.

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.
