Greenville City

Greenville City is a three-school district with one elementary school serving grades K–4, one middle school serving grades 5–8, and one high school serving grades 9–12, with a combined enrollment of 2,222 students and no alternative school in this list. The district is rated 2 stars, ranks 482 of 773 schools in Ohio, and sits at the 38th percentile — so it helps to look at each school separately.

Which school your child attends matters, because the three look quite different. Greenville Middle School (658 students) has the strongest current profile: 3 stars and the 50th percentile in 2025–26, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 17.0%, and standout Algebra I results of 100%, versus 61.6% statewide — though that exam typically serves a select group of advanced students, and all four of its English Language Arts grades came in below the state. Greenville Elementary School (788 students, the largest) has held steady at 2 stars and roughly the 45th percentile; fourth-grade math has topped the state two years running, while fourth-grade ELA has trailed it both years. Greenville Senior High School (776 students) posts a strong 97.3% graduation rate but has slipped from the 55th percentile and 3 stars in 2023–24 to the 35th percentile and 2 stars in 2025–26, with Geometry at 30.3% versus 43.3% statewide and the highest chronic absenteeism in the group at 26.9%.

A few patterns stand out. Chronic absenteeism is the clearest concern at the high school, where 26.9% is well above the district's 20.8%, the elementary school's 18.6%, and the middle school's 17.0%. Resources and results also don't line up simply: the elementary school has the highest per-student spending ($9,783) and the highest free/reduced lunch rate (68.65%) yet remains a 2-star school, while the middle school has the highest student-teacher ratio (17.3) and the best current ranking.
