Summary:
ZIP code 45331 — Greenville, the seat of Darke County in western Ohio — has exactly one elementary school: Greenville Elementary School, a K–4 building with 788 students that is part of the Greenville City district. Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP, its numbers are the entire elementary picture for the area, and the meaningful comparison is the state of Ohio rather than a local peer school.
Greenville Elementary sits steadily just below the Ohio midpoint: ranked 864th of 1,560 elementary schools — the 45th percentile — with a 2-out-of-5-star rating, and it has landed between the 44th and 46th percentile with 2 stars in each of the past three years. Its clearest strengths are 4th grade math, at 69.3% proficient versus 67.3% statewide, and 3rd grade English language arts, at 68.3% versus 63.4% — an 11.8-point jump in one year that moved it from below the state to nearly 5 points above. Its clearest weakness is 4th grade ELA, at 52.6% proficient against 61.8% statewide, a 9.2-point gap that widened from 7.0 points the year before. Third grade and 4th grade outperform the state in opposite subjects, and the flat overall composite masks large offsetting swings. Test scores are identical to the district's, since this is the district's only building serving grades 3 and 4.
Context matters here: about 68.65% of students — roughly 541 of 788 — qualify for free or reduced lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 18.6%, better than the district's 20.8% but still nearly one in five students missing substantial instructional time. The student-teacher ratio is 16:1. Parents should weigh the above-state results in 4th grade math and 3rd grade ELA against the persistent 4th grade ELA gap. Per-student spending of $9,783 dates to 2018-19 and is too old to reflect current conditions.
