Summary:

The 50129 zip code is home to a single high school, Greene County High School, which serves students in the Greene County Community School District. While the school's graduation rate is slightly above the state average, it faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and underperformance in mathematics and science compared to state standards.

Greene County High School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but weaknesses in other core subjects. The school's 2024-2025 test scores show it outperformed the state average in ELA for grades 9-11, but fell behind in mathematics and science. In the previous year, the school's ELA scores were more uneven, with 10th and 11th grade students underperforming but 9th graders outperforming the state. The school's student population also faces economic disadvantages, with over 41% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the academic and socioeconomic challenges, Greene County High School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 and spends a higher-than-average $16,415 per student. These factors may contribute to the school's performance, though further investigation would be needed to fully understand the drivers of student outcomes. Overall, Greene County High School appears to be a relatively average-performing school with room for improvement, particularly in mathematics and science.
