Summary

Greenway Elementary School is a public elementary school in Ocala, Florida, serving 746 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Marion School District, which is ranked 62 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenway Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 29.3% to 35.2%), low test scores that lag behind both the district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students (65.95% to 68.05%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby schools like Ward-Highlands Elementary, Greenway consistently underperforms on key metrics.

Despite the school's challenges, its performance has remained stagnant or declined over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1315 in 2013-2014 to 1699 in 2024-2025. Addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among its student population could be crucial for improving student outcomes at Greenway Elementary.

They have sent my 8yr home twice on the wrong bus at the wrong time. He also hada teacher try to make him role play as a girl. When he refussed she threatened him w calling me and ultimitly gave him a zero. Addministration is convinitly always unavlible. I am also seeing a running trend of not being responsible and blaming the 8yr old. Close Quote
