Summary

Greenbush Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Greenbush, Minnesota, with 127 students. The school is part of the Greenbush Middle River Schools district, which is ranked 207 out of 446 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenbush Elementary has generally underperformed the state average in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III tests over the past several years. However, the school has shown some strengths in specific grade levels and subject areas, such as its 6th grade reading proficiency rate being significantly higher than the state average in 2023-2024. The school's performance on the MCA-III Science test has been more mixed, with some years exceeding the state average and other years underperforming.

Compared to the nearby Karlstad Elementary and Badger Elementary schools, which are part of the Tri-County School District and Badger Public School District, respectively, Greenbush Elementary's performance on standardized tests is generally lower. However, Greenbush Elementary has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may be a strength. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that its student population is facing increasing economic challenges.
