Greenman Elementary School

Summary:

Greenman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Aurora, Illinois, serving 545 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Aurora West Unified School District 129. However, the school faces significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Illinois elementary schools.

Greenman Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 11% of Greenman students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 25.9% in the district and 41.2% statewide. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.1% to 30.3% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, 56.33% of Greenman students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Hall Elementary, Nicholson Elementary, McCleery Elementary, and Hill Elementary, Greenman Elementary consistently performs the worst, with lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, even the better-performing nearby schools still struggle to meet state averages, suggesting a broader challenge within the Aurora West Unified School District 129 and the Aurora East Unified School District 131.

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.
