Summary:
Greene N Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 308 students in grades PK-5 in the City of Chicago School District 299, with a predominantly Hispanic student population of 86.36%. However, the school has consistently underperformed academically compared to the district and state, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.7% and a student population that is predominantly from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 90.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
When comparing Greene N Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, some interesting patterns emerge. Everett Elementary School, located just 0.53 miles away, significantly outperforms Greene N Elementary School in academic achievement, with much higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Similarly, Holden Elementary School, located 1.05 miles away, also outperforms Greene N Elementary School in academic achievement, though not to the same degree as Everett Elementary. Interestingly, the charter schools in the area, such as Acero Charter - Sandra Cisneros Elementary and Namaste Elementary Charter School, generally perform worse than Greene N Elementary School in academic achievement.
Despite the school's academic underperformance, an analysis of student group performance at Greene N Elementary School reveals some interesting insights. The school's Hispanic students perform better than the overall student population, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools for Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year. Similarly, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students also perform relatively well, ranking in the top 32% of Illinois elementary schools for ELL students. However, the school's female and male students both perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 35% of Illinois elementary schools for their respective gender groups. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,575 in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the nearby Everett Elementary School ($31,209) and Holden Elementary School ($16,746), the school's academic underperformance suggests that the issue may not be due to a lack of funding or resources.
