Summary

Greenville Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 106 students in a rural community within the Plumas Unified district.

Academically, the school shows a mixed picture: its performance in English and math generally exceeds the district average but trails the state average. A closer look reveals uneven progress across grades, with 6th-grade math being a particular area of concern. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the past decade, more so than nearby schools, indicating inconsistent outcomes. However, a major success story is the dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism, which has fallen from a very high 78.7% to 27.5% in just three years, though this rate is still higher than the state average.

Compared to other schools in the area, Greenville is a middle performer within its district, ranking below Chester Elementary but above Quincy Elementary. It benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio than these peers and receives substantial per-student funding, though less than Chester. This raises questions about how effectively resources are being used to boost student achievement, as the school's academic results do not yet match its level of investment.
