Greene County Technical School District

The Greene County Technical School District in Arkansas is a mid-sized, 4-star district serving six schools—three elementary, two middle, and one high school—with a strong overall performance ranking in the 86th percentile statewide.

Standout schools reveal a district with clear strengths and areas for growth. The Greene City Technical Elementary School is the academic star, achieving the highest test scores in the district with 60.3% proficiency in ELA and 60.2% in Math, and it made a dramatic leap from the 34th to the 88th percentile in just two years. The Greene City Technical Junior High School excels in advanced math, posting extraordinary 85.4% proficiency in Geometry and 94.9% in Algebra for 8th graders. In contrast, the Greene City Technical High School shows strong improvement—rising from the 32nd to the 69th percentile—but still has the lowest scores in the district, particularly in Geometry (25.2% proficient) and ELA (36.2% proficient). The Greene City Technical Primary School spends the most per student at $16,865, likely due to serving the youngest students (PK-2) with the highest economic disadvantage rate (58.17%).

Key takeaways include a clear "feeder school" effect, where early strong performance at the elementary level drops off by high school, especially in ELA. Math is a district-wide strength, with all schools outperforming state averages, and the Junior High’s advanced math program is exceptional. Spending does not directly correlate with performance—the top-performing Elementary School spends moderately ($11,350), while the Greene City Technical Middle School spends the least ($10,717) yet performs well above state averages. Overall, the district is on an upward trajectory, with significant year-over-year improvements in rankings across most schools.
