Summary:
The North Greene CUSD 3 school district in Illinois has only one elementary school, North Greene Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently performed below the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science proficiency on standardized assessments over the past few years.
North Greene Elementary's academic performance ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 34.1% compared to the state average of 53.1%, and the Math proficiency rate was 26.6% compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's Science proficiency rate on the ISA assessment was also below the state average, at 37.7% compared to 40.6%.
The school serves a high-poverty population, with 56.41% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $12,587 and a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 12.4, the school's academic outcomes suggest that the district may need to re-evaluate how resources are being utilized to support student learning and address the challenges faced by the school's predominantly low-income student population.
