Summary:
Zip code 72737, serving the community of Greenland, Arkansas, is home to a single high school, Greenland High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with a small enrollment of 260 students as part of the Greenland School District.
Greenland High School has shown a dramatic turnaround in recent years, jumping from the 25th percentile in state rankings (2023-2024) to the 58th percentile (2025-2026), earning a 3-star rating. The school’s standout strength is Biology, where 58.2% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 42.7%, and 10th-grade Biology scores are particularly impressive at 58.8% versus the state’s 35.1%. However, this success is contrasted by a significant weakness in Algebra, where only 21.6% of students are proficient against the state average of 36.9%. The school also maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.5:1 and spends $16,540 per student, yet overall proficiency in English Language Arts (36.1%) and Reading (38.0%) remains slightly below state averages. The graduation rate is 87.5%, below the state’s 90.1%, with a dropout rate of 1.9%.
An interesting anomaly appears in Geometry scores: 9th graders taking the subject achieved 47.3% proficiency, while 10th graders scored only 12.1%, suggesting the younger students may be an accelerated group. The most encouraging takeaway is the school’s rapid year-over-year improvement, with proficiency rates surging across nearly all subjects from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026—for example, ELA jumped from 22.6% to 36.1% and Biology from 28.3% to 58.2%. This positive momentum, combined with the low student-teacher ratio, indicates that recent changes in curriculum or instruction may be driving meaningful progress, even as math and literacy areas still need attention.
