Greenwood Elementary School consistently outperforms the Lakeview Public Schools district and the state of Michigan in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, Greenwood's 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 53.6%, compared to 52.4% for the district and 44.4% for the state. In Math, Greenwood's 5th-grade proficiency rate was 44.6%, higher than the district's 39.5% and the state's 32.9%. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.2% to 31.9% over the past few years, which is higher than the state's average.

Greenwood Elementary's performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools within the Lakeview Public Schools district, such as Princeton Elementary and Ardmore Elementary. However, some nearby schools in the Lake Shore Public Schools district, such as Violet Elementary and Rodgers Elementary, have lower proficiency rates compared to Greenwood. Additionally, Greenwood's ranking for special education students is particularly low, suggesting that this subgroup may need additional support and resources.
