Greenbrier High School is part of the highly-rated Greenbrier School District, which ranks 10th out of 251 districts in the state (96th percentile) and holds a 5-star rating. The school itself has maintained a solid 4-star rating for three consecutive years, with a state ranking that improved from 92nd to 54th before settling at 66th. A standout feature is its exceptionally low dropout rate of just 0.1%, indicating the school is very effective at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. The school spends $11,729 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 16:1, with 39.12% of students economically disadvantaged.
Academically, the school shows a clear split in performance. In English Language Arts and Reading, students outperform the state average (45.2% vs. 39.4% and 48.4% vs. 40.4%, respectively). However, in STEM subjects, the school struggles significantly, with only 23.1% proficient in Geometry (below the state's 26.4%) and just 20.2% proficient in Biology (far below the state's 42.7%). This is particularly notable because the Greenbrier School District as a whole shows much higher proficiency (e.g., 58.4% in Biology), suggesting that the high school is a relative weak point in the district's academic chain. The combination of a near-zero dropout rate with low STEM scores may indicate the school prioritizes student retention and social support over pushing for the highest test scores in challenging subjects.
