Original Research by School Decision on Greensboro Elementary School
Greensboro Elementary School is a regular public school serving students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the small town of Greensboro, Maryland, situated on the Choptank River in Caroline County. The town is car-dependent, with residential subdivisions and a small center along South Main Street, where town hall and parks with sidewalk access are located. The area has seen new residential construction, including a subdivision listed as under construction, and the county-owned North County Regional Park just outside town limits is planned for future expansion with athletic fields and a community center.
The school has a substantial enrollment for an elementary school, drawing from the town and surrounding areas of northern Caroline County. The student body is diverse, with Hispanic or Latino students making up a large share, white students comprising a large share as well, and smaller groups of Black or African American students and students of two or more races. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, indicating a high level of economic need across the school population.
On state assessments administered in the 2024-25 school year, proficiency rates in English language arts were in the low forty percent range across grades three, four, and five. In mathematics, proficiency rates declined from the low forty percent range in third grade to the mid-thirty percent range in fourth grade and further to the mid-twenty percent range in fifth grade. In science, the proficiency rate for fifth graders was in the mid-twenty percent range. These figures represent a single year of data, so no trend is available to show whether performance is improving or declining. A parent may want to discuss these results with the school and understand how the school is supporting student progress in math and science in particular.
As an elementary school, Greensboro Elementary does not serve high school grades, so there is no graduation rate to report. Data on special populations such as students with disabilities and English learners were not available in the provided records. Similarly, information on discipline, chronic absenteeism, course access, and staffing was not supplied. The state assessment data is the main available measure of academic performance.
Because Caroline County has only one school district, a comparative positioning relative to other districts in the county is not possible. The school sits within a small district overall, which operates ten schools across several towns in the county, including Denton, Federalsburg, Preston, and Ridgely. The district-level per-pupil expenditure and student-teacher ratio were not directly provided for this school.
The town's civic anchors are its parks and river access, with a car show and music fest held annually. No public library or transit system was mentioned in the search results. The school's location relative to the town center was not specified in the available information.
For families considering this school, the key characteristics are a large and diverse elementary student body, high economic need, and state assessment results that show a mixed picture, with English language arts proficiency higher than math and science proficiency by evidence of the reported year. The single-year data limits the ability to assess trends. A parent interested in this school should seek further information on academic interventions, special education supports, and English learner services directly from the school.
