District-Level NCES Analysis
Greeneville operates 7 public schools serving 2,997 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Tennessee. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Greene County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,806 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 142 Tennessee districts by per-pupil spending. See how Tennessee compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 42.0% local, 40.7% state, and 17.3% federal, a balanced mix across local, state, and federal sources, spreading budget risk across funding cycles rather than concentrating it in one. The district's equity score is 46/100, ranked #36 of 141 in Tennessee against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (17 AP courses district-wide), a 288.9:1 student-counselor ratio, somewhat above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 9.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 70.9% White, 15.3% Hispanic or Latino, 3.3% African American across the district's schools. Its most demographically mixed campus is Highland Elementary, with a diversity index of 66.7/100.
Greeneville High School accounts for 29.1% of all Greeneville student enrollment
That dominant concentration means Greeneville-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.
Greeneville school enrollment varies 8.9× across entities
Greeneville school enrollment ranges from 98 students (lowest) to 871 students (highest), a spread of 773 students. That spread reflects typical mixed-portfolio variation between specialty programs and large neighbourhood schools. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Greeneville student-counselor ratio is 289:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Greeneville is typically wider than the Greeneville-aggregate figure suggests.
Greeneville chronic absenteeism rate is 9.9% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
