Best Public Schools in Greenville, MO

Summary:

The city of Greenville, Missouri is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Greenville Elementary, Greenville High, and Greenville Junior High. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.

None of the Greenville schools stand out as clear high-performers. Greenville Elementary ranks in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with test scores significantly below state and district averages. Greenville High has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate from the top third to the bottom third of Missouri high schools in recent years, with mixed test score performance. Greenville Junior High has a middling statewide ranking, with math scores above average but English and science scores lagging behind.

The Greenville schools also face challenges related to high poverty rates, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools. Additionally, the student populations are overwhelmingly white, with very low racial/ethnic diversity. Funding disparities also exist, with Greenville Junior High receiving significantly less per-student funding than the other two schools. Addressing these systemic issues will be crucial for the Greenville R-II school district to improve student outcomes and the overall performance of its schools.
