Summary

Greenman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Illinois, serving 522 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Aurora West Unified School District 129, which is ranked 660 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Greenman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenman Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 36% of Greenman students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.1% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was even lower at 23.7%, compared to 27.9% for the district and 38.5% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.2% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Greenman Elementary to other nearby schools within the same district, it becomes clear that Greenman is one of the lower-performing schools. For example, Freeman Elementary, which is also in the Aurora West Unified School District, outperforms Greenman in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates by a significant margin. However, Greenman Elementary has shown some strengths in supporting its special education and English Language Learner (ELL) students, with the school ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups in recent years.

This school does a tremendous job with the students they are given. Until we get more money into schools, get used to having low-scoring schools in all but the most affluent neighborhoods. Close Quote
