Greene County released its 2025 Water Quality Report on May 5, providing information to residents about local water conditions and related educational statistics.
The annual report is intended to keep the public informed about the state of water quality in the area. The document also includes data on academic readiness among Greene County school district students, highlighting educational outcomes that may be of interest to families and community members.
Recent figures show that of 186 senior students taking the science portion of the ACT in Greene County school districts, only 16, or 8.6 percent, were considered ready for college in the 2022-23 school year. For juniors, out of 184 students taking the same test, just 13 (7.1 percent) met college readiness benchmarks according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
In reading, results indicate that among seniors taking this section of the ACT, only 28 out of 186 (15.1 percent) demonstrated college readiness. Among juniors, this figure was slightly lower at 23 out of 184 (12.5 percent), as reported by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
Math scores showed similar trends: just over eight percent—16 out of 186 seniors—were considered ready for college-level work in math during their ACT testing period. In English, however, a higher proportion was noted; among seniors tested, thirty-four students (18.3 percent) achieved scores indicating they were prepared for college-level English coursework according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.
The release provides both environmental and educational insights for Greene County residents as they review community progress and ongoing challenges.
