Summary

Greene City Technical Elementary School in Paragould, AR, is a K-6 school serving 501 students as part of the high-performing Greene County Technical School District, which ranks in the top 14% of districts statewide. This school has undergone a remarkable transformation, jumping from the 34th percentile in state rankings just two years ago to the 88th percentile today, making it one of the most improved elementary schools in Arkansas.

What makes this school stand out is its exceptional academic growth across all subjects. In the most recent year, 60.3% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 60.2% in Math, and 55% in Science—all significantly above state averages. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools. For instance, Brookland Elementary School, the region's top-ranked school with a lower rate of economic disadvantage, only slightly edges out GCTES in ELA (63% vs. 60.3%). Meanwhile, GCTES dramatically outperforms all three elementary schools in the neighboring Paragould School District, where proficiency rates are much lower despite similar student populations. The school also achieves these results with efficient spending of $11,350 per student, less than many lower-performing area schools.

The school's success story extends beyond test scores. It is the highest-performing school in its own district, significantly outperforming the nearby Greene City Technical Intermediate School by 16.5 percentage points in ELA. This suggests that the district's early education programs, including the Greene City Technical Primary School, are effectively preparing students for success. For parents seeking a school that has demonstrated rapid, sustained improvement and delivers top-tier results regardless of economic background, Greene City Technical Elementary School represents a compelling choice in the Paragould area.
