Summary:
The city of Greenville, Michigan is home to 10 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, with varying socioeconomic backgrounds as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch eligibility rates.
Greenville Senior High School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, ranking 141 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school boasts consistently high test scores, a low dropout rate of 3.2%, and a strong 89.9% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, the alternative schools, such as Flat River Academy and ISDLocal Center Programs, struggle with significantly lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.
The data reveals a clear divide in academic performance between the traditional public schools and the alternative schools in Greenville. This disparity appears to be linked to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Cedar Crest Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Addressing these disparities and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students in the Greenville Public Schools, Flat River Academy, and Montcalm Area Independent School District (Isd) will be crucial for improving overall academic outcomes in the city.
