The general
progress of the Greenville schools during the past thirty years
[1850s–1880s] has been highly satisfactory, and it is very doubtful if
any other town of its size in Pennsylvania furnishes superior facilities
to its youth for a thorough common school education. The present
enrollment is about 950, and the average attendance 100 less.
