Summary

Greenwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Louisville, Kentucky, serving 444 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Jefferson County school district, which is ranked 140 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Greenwood Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years, indicating it is a low-performing school.

Greenwood Elementary struggles with academic performance, with only 10-39% of students proficient or better in core subjects like mathematics, reading, science, and social studies, compared to 30-50% for the district and state. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 38.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Greenwood serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 71.62% to 80.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio is also relatively high, ranging from 15.3 to 18.9, higher than nearby schools.

When comparing Greenwood Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, it is clear that Greenwood is one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. Most of the nearby schools, such as Eisenhower Elementary, Wilkerson Elementary School, and Johnsontown Road Elementary, outperform Greenwood on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. While Greenwood receives relatively high per-student funding, the school's poor performance suggests that factors such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student/family engagement may be more significant drivers of its challenges.
