Summary:
The city of Greenview, Illinois is home to two schools - Greenview Junior/Senior High School and Greenview Elementary School, both part of the Greenview CUSD 200 district. While both schools are rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, the elementary school stands out as the stronger performer in the district.
Greenview Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforms the high school and state averages on most standardized test metrics, including IAR English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Greenview Junior/Senior High School struggles, with only 6.3% of 11th graders proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 26.1%. The high school also has a relatively high 7.2% dropout rate, which is concerning.
The funding and resource allocation between the two schools is noteworthy, with the high school receiving more funding per student ($21,145 vs. $18,687) but having a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.9 compared to 9.9 at the elementary school. This may indicate a need to re-evaluate the distribution of resources to better support student outcomes. Additionally, the significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the two schools (34.58% at the high school vs. 18.27% at the elementary) could be a factor in their performance, as socioeconomic status is often correlated with academic achievement.
