Greenville Elementary School

Summary:

Greenville Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greenville, Kentucky, serving 577 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Muhlenberg County School District, which is ranked 133 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenville Elementary has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments compared to the Muhlenberg County and Kentucky state averages. While the school outperformed the district in several subjects, it generally underperformed the state average, particularly in Reading and Science. The school's rankings have fluctuated over the years, ranging from 179 to 381 out of Kentucky's elementary schools. However, Greenville Elementary has consistently performed well in serving its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the top 10-20% of Kentucky elementary schools in these categories. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.67% to 66.79% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, the performance of Greenville Elementary has been similar or slightly lower than other Muhlenberg County schools, such as Bremen Elementary and Muhlenberg South Elementary. However, some schools outside the Muhlenberg County district, such as Lewisburg Elementary (Logan County) and Grapevine Elementary (Hopkins County), have outperformed Greenville Elementary in several subject areas. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other Kentucky elementary schools, despite its strong performance in serving special education and disabled 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.
