Summary

Greenwood Elementary School in Waukegan, Illinois, serves pre-K through grade 5 and enrolls 318 students in a community served by Waukegan CUSD 60. In 2025–26, Greenwood’s proficiency rates were 34% in English language arts (ELA) and 29% in math. The key takeaway for families is that Greenwood scored above its district in both subjects, but below the state in every reported subject.

Math is Greenwood’s clearest strength against nearby schools: its 29% proficiency rate was third-highest among nine nearby district schools with results, above the peer average of 26% and the district’s 20%, but below the state’s 40%. ELA was also above the district (34% versus 28%) and the peer average of 29%; Greenwood ranked fourth among those schools, while its result remained below the state’s 56%. Results vary by grade: grade 4 ELA was a relative high point at 40%, while grade 5 math was Greenwood’s weakest tested grade-level result at 23%. Fifth-grade science was another concern: Greenwood’s 22.6% was just below the district’s 23.4% and about 25 points below the state. Nearby schools show that higher results are possible: John S Clark Elementary School scored substantially higher in ELA, math and fifth-grade science.

ELA has improved over three years, rising from 19% in 2023–24 to 34% in 2025–26, a 15-point gain; math was 31% in each of the first two years before falling to 29%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking moved the other way, falling from the 45th percentile in 2023–24 to the 12th percentile and 1 star in 2025–26. Its student-group rankings also changed sharply: for Low Socio Economic Status Students, SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves this group fell from the 74th percentile in 2023–24 to the 32nd in 2024–25; for English Language Learner Students, it dropped from the 69th to the 32nd percentile between those same years. As context, 61% of Greenwood students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, lower than nearby district schools, and its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.7. These figures are useful for comparison, but do not explain the achievement results.
