Summary

Gregory Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rockford, Illinois, serving 408 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Rockford School District 205, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 745 out of 811 districts in Illinois.

Gregory Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 1-star rating for most years. The school underperforms compared to the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with only 29.1% of students proficient in ELA and 14.6% proficient in Math. Gregory Elementary also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 46.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's performance gaps and disparities among student subgroups suggest it may not be effectively addressing the needs of its diverse population.

While Gregory Elementary faces significant challenges, some nearby schools in the Rockford School District 205, such as Brookview Elementary and Montessori Elementary, perform significantly better on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Despite the higher per-student spending at Gregory Elementary, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, indicating the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to support student learning and address the school's persistent underperformance.
