Summary:
The 62642 zip code area is home to two schools - Greenview Junior/Senior High School and Greenview Elementary School, both part of the Greenview CUSD 200 district. While the elementary school is a standout performer, ranking in the top 609 Illinois elementary schools, the high school has historically struggled but is showing signs of improvement.
Greenview Elementary School stands out with its consistent top 609 ranking over the past 3 years and a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Greenview Junior/Senior High School has improved its state ranking from 602 out of 688 in 2020-2021 to 477 out of 697 in 2023-2024, suggesting progress, though its test scores, particularly in math, remain low compared to state averages.
Both schools are relatively small, with Greenview Junior/Senior High School enrolling 107 students and Greenview Elementary School having 104 students. The high school has a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 34.6% compared to 18.3% at the elementary school, which may indicate greater socioeconomic challenges. The district should explore ways to leverage the schools' small size as an advantage while also addressing the performance gaps, potentially by applying best practices from the stronger-performing elementary school.
