Summary

Greensboro Elementary School is a public elementary school in Greensboro, Alabama, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 518 students. The school is part of the Hale County School District, which is ranked 111 out of 135 districts in the state.

Greensboro Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with its academic performance significantly below the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29.49% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, compared to 32.5% in Hale County and 45.47% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in math and science, with only 12-13.7% of 4th and 5th graders proficient or better in math, and just 10.96% of 4th graders proficient or better in science. In contrast, the nearby US Jones Elementary School in Demopolis, AL, and Eutaw Primary School in Greene County significantly outperform Greensboro Elementary across all academic measures.

Greensboro Elementary School faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (77.8% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and high chronic absenteeism rates (14.8% to 17.9% over the past few years). The school's persistent underperformance and struggles to improve academic outcomes suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its educational practices, resource allocation, and support systems to better serve its students.
