Summary

John Greer Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hoopeston, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 244 students. The school is part of the Hoopeston Area CUSD 11 district, which is ranked 711 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

John Greer Elementary School has consistently performed better than the Hoopeston Area CUSD 11 district in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, John Greer's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 53%, compared to the district's 45.1% and the state's 53.1%. In the same year, John Greer's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 32.8%, significantly higher than the district's 22.3% but still below the state's 38.5%. However, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 27.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, some nearby schools, such as Armstrong-Ellis Elementary and Cissna Park Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance, particularly in ELA and Mathematics proficiency, despite serving similar student populations. The high chronic absenteeism rates at John Greer Elementary may be contributing to the school's relatively lower academic performance compared to these nearby schools, and the school's higher per-student spending does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond funding may be at play.
