Greenland’s public schools score below 72% of Arkansas districts on tests and graduation

In Greenland, 30% of tested students read at a proficient level, below the Arkansas average (40%). The grade covers the public school district serving Greenland, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Arkansas, not nationally.
