Greentree Elementary

Summary:

Greentree Elementary is a public elementary school in Irvine, California, serving 449 students in grades K-6. It is part of the highly-rated Irvine Unified School District, which is ranked 108 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

While Greentree Elementary is part of a strong school district, its academic performance lags behind many of its neighbors. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Greentree's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students outperforming Hispanic and Multi-racial students. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 3.5% in 2017-2018 to 17.5% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby College Park Elementary, Springbrook Elementary, and Eastshore Elementary, Greentree Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, the school does outperform the Irvine Unified School District Virtual Academy. Factors such as the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the increasing chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing to Greentree's lower academic performance compared to other schools in the district. With targeted interventions and the implementation of best practices from higher-performing schools, Greentree Elementary has the potential to improve student outcomes and better support its diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
