Summary

Greenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Waukegan, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 312 students. The school is part of the Waukegan CUSD 60 district, which is ranked 760 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenwood Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.8% of Greenwood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 53.1% statewide and 24.6% in the Waukegan district. Similarly, in Mathematics, Greenwood's proficiency rate was 31%, while the state average was 38.5% and the district average was 18.7%. Additionally, Greenwood has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.2% to 38.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Greenwood Elementary to other nearby schools in the Waukegan district, it becomes evident that Greenwood is one of the lower-performing schools. For instance, John S. Clark Elementary, located just 0.82 miles away, consistently outperforms Greenwood in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, as well as in overall state rankings. Despite the higher per-student spending at Greenwood Elementary, the school's academic outcomes remain below the state and district averages, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement.
