of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 94% of California elementary schools

Summary

Green Hills Elementary is a highly-regarded K-5 public school serving 338 students in Millbrae, part of the Millbrae Elementary district, and it stands out for its exceptional academic performance and strong sense of community.

The school consistently earns top marks, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide with over 80% of students proficient in English and Math, significantly above state averages. A key strength is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.4%, far better than the state average and a likely contributor to its success. While the school serves a community with relatively few students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, it has a proven record of effectively supporting those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and English learners when they are enrolled. Interestingly, Green Hills achieves these excellent results with moderate per-student spending compared to some neighbors, suggesting very efficient and effective teaching practices.

Within its own district, Green Hills' performance is notably stronger than the nearby Lomita Park Elementary, despite their proximity. It also holds its own in a competitive area with other top performers like Hoover Elementary in the Burlingame Elementary district. While excelling in core subjects, Science proficiency, though solid, is an area where the school trails some local peers, indicating a potential focus for continued growth. Overall, Green Hills represents a model of consistent, high-quality elementary education with a strong attendance culture and effective support for all students.
