North Greene CUSD 3

The North Greene CUSD 3 district in Illinois serves students from two schools - North Greene Elementary and North Greene Junior/Senior High School. While the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, the high school has consistently performed in the bottom 20% of Illinois high schools, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like English and math.

Both schools face significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates that are well above the state average. Academic performance is a concern, with North Greene Elementary students scoring below state averages in English Language Arts and Math, and North Greene Junior/Senior High School students demonstrating even lower proficiency levels. However, the schools do show stronger performance in science, with the elementary school at 62.1% proficient and the high school at 39.8% proficient.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as both schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and spending per student is relatively high. The contrast between the elementary and high school's performance suggests a potential disconnect in the educational experience as students progress through the district. Addressing these challenges and ensuring all students in the North Greene CUSD 3 district receive a high-quality education will be crucial for the district's future success.
