Greenville Middle School

Summary:

Greenville Middle School is a public middle school in Greenville, Alabama, serving 581 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Butler County School District, which is ranked 98 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenville Middle School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is predominantly African American (around 70%) and economically disadvantaged (around 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch). The school consistently ranks in the bottom third of Alabama middle schools, with only 10-25% of students proficient in mathematics and science, well below the state and county averages. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 22.3 to 26 students per teacher, may also contribute to its academic struggles.

While Greenville Middle School's African American students perform better than the overall school average, they still lag behind the state's African American students in academic proficiency, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. Interestingly, a nearby school, Lowndes County Middle School, has even lower academic performance and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, indicating that the challenges faced by Greenville Middle School may be reflective of broader regional issues. Ensuring equitable funding and resource allocation, as well as continued monitoring and data-driven decision-making, will be crucial to improving the school's outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
