Summary

Greenbriar Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school located in Northbrook, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 367 students. The school is part of the Northbrook School District 28, which is ranked 14th out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 5 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Greenbriar Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Illinois, with a statewide ranking of 11th out of 2,082 schools in the 2021-2022 school year and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students perform exceptionally well on standardized tests, with 80.9% of all students proficient or better in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. Greenbriar's performance is also consistently higher than the Northbrook School District 28 averages, indicating that the school is a top performer within the district.

While Greenbriar's academic performance is consistently higher than the nearby Meadowbrook Elementary and Westmoor Elementary, which are also part of the Northbrook School District 28, the school's performance is more on par with schools in the neighboring North Shore School District 112 and Deerfield School District 109. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.5% in the 2023-2024 school year to 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is a concerning trend that the school and district should investigate and address.
