Summary

Greenville Elementary School serves 620 students from pre-K through grade 5 in Muhlenberg County, making it the largest of the 11 nearby schools compared. The clearest concern is fourth grade: in 2025–26, proficiency was 21% in math, 38% in reading and 21% in science. Each result was below the nearby-school average, and the math and reading results were second-lowest among nine schools with reported scores; science was lowest among eight. The most important finding is that the weakness is concentrated in fourth grade but spans three tested subjects.

Compared with nearby schools, the school is close to average in third- and fifth-grade math, but reading is a more consistent concern: its grade-level results were 47% in third grade, 38% in fourth and 40% in fifth, versus nearby averages of 45%, 46% and 50%. Across grades 3–5, math averaged 34%, below the local average of 39% and the state’s 43%, but above the Muhlenberg County average of 32%. Science was the weakest subject compared with all three groups: 21%, versus 28% in the district, 40% statewide and 33% nearby. Writing was a relative bright spot against the state, matching its 35% result; social studies was above the district and nearby averages, though below the state.

Results have weakened in several key areas: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, average math proficiency fell 10 points, reading fell 11 points and fourth-grade science fell 20 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also dropped from the 67th percentile in 2021–22 to the 30th in 2025–26; it now ranks the school 479th of 684 Kentucky elementary schools and gives it 2 stars. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.0, and 64% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One notable group result is the SchoolDigger statewide percentile for special education students: it fell from 83 in 2024–25 to 42 in 2025–26, although the latest figure remained 12 points above the school’s overall percentile of 30.
