Greene N Elementary School

Summary:

Greene N Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Chicago Public Schools District 299, with 308 students located in the South Side of Chicago. Despite its consistent ranking in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a 2 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, the school faces significant challenges that impact student learning.

Key issues at Greene N Elementary include high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 6.3% in 2019-2020 to 35.0% in 2023-2024, well above district and state averages. Additionally, student performance on the IAR assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics is well below state and district averages, with only 28.6% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 16.5% proficient in Math, compared to 41.2% and 28.4% statewide, respectively. The school also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 90.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

When comparing Greene N Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, the performance gap is even more pronounced. For example, Everett Elementary, located just 0.53 miles away, outperforms Greene N by a wide margin on test scores, with 65.6% of students proficient or better in ELA and 34.4% in Math. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education students and English Language Learners, whose rankings are in the bottom 15% and bottom 10-30% of Illinois elementary schools, respectively.

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.
