Summary

Greenville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Greenville, Missouri, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 284 students. The school is part of the Greenville R-II school district, which is ranked 303 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenville Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of students proficient or better in MAP/Mathematics ranged from 13.6% to 18%, compared to the state average of 38.2% to 45.5%. The school's performance is also lower than the district average, indicating that Greenville Elementary is underperforming compared to other schools in the Greenville R-II district. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Interestingly, Zalma Elementary, a school in a different district, has a much higher performance and lower chronic absenteeism rate, despite serving a student population with 100% free or reduced-price lunch eligibility. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to Greenville Elementary's underperformance. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Greenville Elementary and the nearby Williamsville Elementary indicate that addressing attendance and engagement issues could be a key focus area for improvement.

The student to teacher ratio could be much better at the elementary level. This school suffers from being in a high poverty region. There is a prevalent sense of entitlement in the low income community. Teachers have a tough time with increasing numbers of student behavior issues that are not always appropriately addressed. Classroom materials are minimally adequate. Cronyism and nepotism persist in this small school district. But if a student WANTS to achieve and do well, they can. Close Quote
