High Schools in Greenville Independent School District (Isd)

The Greenville Independent School District (Isd) in Texas is home to three high schools: Greenville High School, New Horizons Learning Center, and Greenville Alternative Educational Program. While Greenville High School is the largest and highest-performing school in the district, the alternative schools serve more disadvantaged student populations and face unique challenges.

Greenville High School stands out with a strong 97.1% four-year graduation rate and a low 0.1% dropout rate. However, its academic performance, as measured by STAAR EOC test scores, is significantly below the state average across all subjects. In contrast, the smaller alternative schools, New Horizons Learning Center and Greenville Alternative Educational Program, have much lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates, as well as significantly lower STAAR EOC test scores, with several subjects having 0% proficiency.

The data suggests a possible correlation between the socioeconomic status of the student population and the academic performance of the schools. All three schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, but the alternative schools serve an even more disadvantaged population, with up to 90.48% of students qualifying for this assistance. Additionally, the smaller alternative schools have significantly higher per-student spending, which may be related to the specialized populations they serve and the unique challenges they face in supporting their students' academic and personal needs.
