Greenbrae Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 28.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the Washoe County and Nevada state averages.

Additionally, Greenbrae Elementary has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
