Greenfield Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments (IAR/ISA) significantly below the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 23.3% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and only 16.4% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 28.4%. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, and it has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rates have been increasing, from 4.1% in 2019-2020 to 14.1% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Shipman Elementary School and Carlinville Intermediate School, Greenfield Elementary School performs significantly worse across all academic measures. Despite the increased per-student spending and adequate staffing resources, the school has not been able to improve its academic performance, suggesting that it may need to implement more targeted and effective interventions to address the specific challenges faced by its student population.

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.
