Greenville High School

Summary:

Greenville High School is a public high school in Greenville, Mississippi, serving 871 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Greenville Public Schools district, which is ranked 124 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenville High School faces significant challenges, with an overwhelmingly African American student population (over 99%), consistently low test scores that fall below the state average, and an extremely high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (over 99%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school spends $10,077 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools, and has a student-teacher ratio of around 17.5, which is higher than the nearby Simmons High School, Riverside High School, Leland High School, and O'Bannon High School.

The consistent low performance of Greenville High School, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, suggests that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its students. The lack of racial diversity and the high level of economic disadvantage may contribute to these challenges, highlighting the disparities in educational outcomes within the region. While nearby schools like Simmons High School and Leland High School perform better on standardized tests and have higher rankings, Greenville High School's struggles indicate the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
