Summary

Greene City Technical High School is a public high school located in Paragould, Arkansas, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 801 students. The school is part of the Greene County Technical School District, which is ranked 64 out of 250 districts in Arkansas and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Greene City Technical High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 65th out of 290 Arkansas high schools in 2020-2021 (4-star rating) to a low of 206th out of 305 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's performance on standardized tests, such as ATLAS and ACT Aspire, is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 20-30% in core subjects like English Language Arts, Reading, and Biology. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 34.96% in 2022-2023 to 40.32% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby high schools, Greene City Technical High School generally performs below average. For example, Brookland High School, located just 7.41 miles away, has consistently outperformed Greene City Technical High School on standardized tests, with proficiency rates often 10-15 percentage points higher. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student suggest that the school may have adequate resources and staffing, though the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
