Summary

Greenfield Elementary is a public elementary school located in Greenfield, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 219 students. The school is part of the Greenfield R-IV school district, which is ranked 338 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenfield Elementary consistently performs below the state average in MAP test proficiency across all grade levels and subjects, with its 3rd-grade math proficiency at 11.8% compared to the state average of 41.4% in 2024-2025. The school's performance has been stagnant, with little to no improvement in test scores over the years, and it ranks in the bottom quartile of Missouri elementary schools. Additionally, Greenfield Elementary has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1% compared to the state average of around 15%, and 61.19% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Stockton Elementary and Ash Grove Elementary perform significantly better than Greenfield Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates and a smaller percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. This performance gap suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and community engagement, may be contributing to the academic struggles at Greenfield Elementary.

What people are saying

Even though I grew up and graduated from Greenfield, I have nothing good to say about the district. Teachers play favorites way too much, dont have any authority, or at least are afraid to show any authority. Kids get away with being bullies, and then the picked on kid gets in trouble if they try to stand up for themselves. Staff looks down on you and talk to you like you are beneath them unless you are one of the "important, upstanding" families from the area. Every year, the MAP scores tell you how they are doing at teaching compared to the rest of the schools in Missouri, and those scores are pathetic. The scores dont lie. You can say all day, every day, until you are blue in the face how good greenfield school is, but I am telling you, they are setting the kids up for failure for once they get into college. Like I said, just look at their years MAP scores and percentages.

Moving away and getting my son out of that school was the best thing that we could have ever done for him. Close Quote
