Summary

Greentree Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 434 students in the highly-regarded Irvine Unified School District, though its academic performance sits below the district's high average.

While Greentree's test scores are above the state average, they are consistently 10-20 points below many nearby schools like Brywood Elementary and Deerfield Elementary. The school serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds than most of its Irvine peers, and it has a higher chronic absenteeism rate at 11.2%. Interestingly, Greentree spends more per student than most comparison schools but has one of the highest student-teacher ratios, creating a puzzle about how resources are used.

A standout strength is the school's exceptional program for English Language Learners, which ranks in the state's 94th percentile. However, test scores show significant dips in specific grades, like 5th-grade math, suggesting some curriculum challenges. The school also faces competition from high-performing charters like the Irvine Chinese Immersion Academy. For improvement, the analysis suggests Greentree should examine its resource effectiveness, apply its successful ELL strategies more broadly, and continue working to reduce absenteeism.
