North Greenville Elementary

North Greenville Elementary is a PK–4 school serving 423 students at N2468 Learning Way in Greenville, Wisconsin, part of the Hortonville Area School District, where it is one of three PK–4 elementaries alongside Greenville Elementary and Hortonville Elementary.

Over the past decade, North Greenville has ranked in the 87th percentile or higher among Wisconsin elementary schools every single year, earning 5-star ratings in nine of ten years. The 2025–2026 year is its first 4-star year, slipping from the 95th to the 87th percentile — a dip that appears specific to this school, since state and district averages held flat. Two things explain most of it: a weaker incoming third-grade class (grade 3 ELA fell from 80.52 to 63.95 percent proficient, and math from 85.71 to 70.93), and a math decline for the same students as they moved into grade 4. Grade 4 remains a clear strength — North Greenville leads the district's three elementaries in all four grade-4 subjects, and its grade-4 science result (75.00 percent proficient) is 21.6 points above the state. Grade 3 is the current soft spot, trailing both Greenville Elementary and the district average, the first time that has happened in the available data. With roughly 70–80 students per grade, a 10-point swing is only about 7–8 children, so it is a signal to watch rather than a verdict.

Chronic absenteeism is arguably the school's most distinctive metric: 0.8 percent in 2024–2025 and never above 1.5 percent in five years, compared with 16–23 percent statewide and 2.4 percent district-wide. Only 7.8 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the lowest of any nearby school, and North Greenville spends less per student ($13,334) than both Hortonville Elementary and Greenville Elementary while producing the strongest results in that group. Its effectiveness ranking for low-income students has stayed at the 90th percentile or better for three consecutive years.
