Middle Schools in Greenville Public Schools

Middle Schools in Greenville Public Schools consist of a single school, Greenville Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8 and enrolls 797 students in the Greenville, MI area (ZIP 48838).

Greenville Middle School is a large, economically diverse school where nearly half of students (49.44%) qualify for free/reduced lunch. The district itself ranks in the top 20% of Michigan districts (80th percentile, 4-star rating), but the school has slipped from the 75th percentile (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 67th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026. This decline is driven by notable drops in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency—down 7 points in 6th grade and 9.5 points in 7th grade—though the school still hovers near or above state averages. Math proficiency improved in 6th and 7th grades (now 39.5% and 33.5%, respectively, both above state averages), but 8th-grade PSAT Math fell sharply by 8.9 points to 32.1%, now below the state average of 33.2%. Social Studies remains a clear strength at 53.6% proficiency, well above the state’s 50.3%.

Chronic absenteeism is a concern, with 26.1% of students missing significant school time—higher than the district’s 21.8% but slightly below the state’s 27.9%. With roughly 1 in 4 students chronically absent, this likely contributes to the ELA slide, as reading and writing require consistent practice. Per-student spending is relatively high at $14,682, and the student-teacher ratio is 17.9:1, yet the recent ranking drop suggests money alone isn’t driving outcomes. The school’s strengths in Social Studies and lower-grade math provide a foundation, but targeted interventions in literacy, 8th-grade math retention, and absenteeism reduction will be key to reversing the downward trend and regaining 4-star status.
