There were 2,667 students enrolled in Greene County schools in the 2023-24 school year, 0.5% more than the previous year, according to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

Greene Central High School registered the highest enrollment among Greene County's six schools in the 2023-24 school year, welcoming 746 students.

North Carolina’s student-teacher ratio is roughly 15.4 students per teacher, aligning with the national average. However, rising teacher turnover threatens to push class sizes higher, making it harder for students to get individualized attention.

If vacancies continue to grow, schools may struggle to maintain this ratio, impacting the quality of instruction. Districts in lower-funded areas face the biggest challenges, as limited budgets make it harder to attract and retain teachers.
