Summary

Greenbriar Elementary School in Chicago Heights, Illinois, serves 174 students in kindergarten through grade 5 and is part of a local comparison group of 11 schools. Its clearest advantage is English Language Arts (ELA): in 2025–2026, 67% of students were proficient, the second-highest result among the nearby schools and well above the state and district.

Greenbriar’s ELA proficiency was 10 percentage points above the state’s 56% and 24 points above Chicago Heights School District 170 at 43%; it also exceeded the nearby-school average of 48% by 19 points. Math is a weaker area: 36% were proficient, 4 points below the state’s 40% and about 1 point below the nearby-school average, though 11 points above the district’s 25%. Fifth-grade science was a standout, with 73% proficient—26 points above the state and 15 points above the strongest reported nearby result, at Western Avenue Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism was 15%, below the state’s 24% and district’s 30%; only Western Avenue was lower among the nearby schools. The state suppressed Greenbriar’s fourth- and fifth-grade math results, so those grades cannot be compared here.

Results have improved notably in ELA: proficiency climbed from 36% in 2023–2024 to 67% in 2025–2026, while math rose from 22% to 36% overall but fell from 40% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s statewide rating rose from the 51st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 77th percentile, four stars, and a rank of 394 out of 1,737 in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger’s group rankings also show especially high standing for Hispanic Students at the 94th percentile and Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 96th percentile, compared with 77th overall. Greenbriar’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 15.8, among the higher ratios in the nearby group. For 2024–2025, its reported meal measure was “all students receive free meals (Community Eligibility)”; this is a designation, not a percentage-based income measure.
