Summary:
The Greenland School District in Greenland, Arkansas, serves 747 students across three schools: Greenland Elementary School (Grades K-4), Greenland Middle School (Grades 5-8), and Greenland High School (Grades 9-12). The district is ranked 111th out of 251 districts in Arkansas (56th percentile) with a 3-star rating, and it faces a significant challenge with over 98% of elementary and middle school students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.
Greenland Middle School stands out as the academic powerhouse, particularly in math and science. An impressive 86.6% of 8th graders are proficient in Algebra, far exceeding the state average of 73.9%, and 51.1% of all students are proficient in Science, also above the state average. In contrast, Greenland High School shows a dramatic turnaround, jumping from the 25th percentile to the 58th percentile in state rankings over two years, though its current test scores in ELA (36.1%) and Reading (38%) remain below state averages. Greenland Elementary School is a consistent improver, rising from the 33rd to the 52nd percentile over three years, with strong Science proficiency at 46.4%.
Key metrics reveal a district with high spending per student (ranging from $13,684 at the middle school to $16,540 at the high school) and low student-teacher ratios (9.5:1 at the high school, 11.9:1 at the middle school, and 12:1 at the elementary school). However, academic results are mixed. A notable "Middle School Bump" in math does not carry over to the high school, where Algebra proficiency drops to just 21.6%. Science is a consistent district strength, with the high school's Biology proficiency at 58.2% dramatically above the state average of 42.7%. The 6th grade at the middle school shows a dip, with only 27.5% proficient in ELA, suggesting a transitional challenge. The high school's graduation rate is 87.5%, below the state average of 90.1%, but its recent ranking improvement signals positive momentum.
