Summary

Greenbriar Elementary School serves 352 students in grades K–5 in Northbrook, within Northbrook School District 28. SchoolDigger ranks it 92nd among 1,737 Illinois schools, at the 95th percentile and with five stars. The central takeaway is that its test scores are well above state averages, but below its district in all-grades ELA and math and below the nearby-school averages in both subjects.

Fifth-grade science is a relative strength: 81% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 34 points above the state, just 1 point below the district, and 6 points above the nearby-school average; that was fourth among 10 nearby schools with results. Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest weak spot: 80% were proficient, 11 points below the district and lower than every nearby school reporting that grade. Across all grades, ELA proficiency was 80%, compared with 84% on average among nearby schools, while math was 78%, compared with their 80% average. Greenbriar ranked eighth of 10 nearby schools in ELA and seventh of 10 in math. Fifth-grade ELA was brighter, at 88%—3 points above the district.

Results have improved overall in math since 2023–24: proficiency rose from 68% to 78%, though it dipped from 81% in 2024–25. ELA edged up from 78% to 80% over the same period, after reaching 81% in 2024–25. The 9.4 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 was the second-lowest among nearby schools, and spending was highest at $34,184 per student; these figures do not establish what causes test results. In 2021–22, 1% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 3% average among nearby schools with the same measure and year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Asian students fell from the 98th percentile in 2018–19 to the 82nd in 2024–25, while the school’s overall percentile rose from 95 to 96; this ranking describes how well the school serves that group.
