Greenview Elementary School, Greenview IL

Original Research by School Decision on Greenview Elementary School

Greenview Elementary School is a small rural elementary school in Menard County, Illinois, serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in the village of Greenview. The school enrolls a small population of students, with representation spread across early grades, including a pre-kindergarten cohort and early elementary classes.

The village itself is a compact rural community, part of the Springfield metropolitan area, with a slow or flat population trajectory in recent years. Civic life centers on the Greenview Community Center and local establishments within walking distance of the school. The local economic base is modest, anchored by the school district itself, a few retail outlets, and bank service, with larger employment found in the Springfield area to the south. Housing values in the area are below state and national benchmarks, and affordability relative to median household income is reasonable.

On state assessments, Greenview Elementary shows mixed and uneven performance across grades. In English language arts, fourth grade students scored well, while third grade and fifth grade proficiency were lower. In mathematics, fourth grade students met proficiency at a solid level, but fifth grade performance dropped notably, and third grade was moderate. Science proficiency in fifth grade was below the midpoint. The school's overall proficiency index across tested subjects and grades places it in the top quartile among the three districts in Menard County, though the comparison reflects a small universe and some variability in the county's performance generally. All students are fully participating in state testing. A parent may want to look into the school's instructional approaches in upper elementary mathematics and science, where results have been softer.

Grade 6 and above do not appear to be served at this school, so no testing data exist for those grades at this location; students would transition to the middle or junior high school to continue their education.

Detailed demographic reporting on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility and English learners is not available in the current data. The enrollment is predominantly white, with a very small number of students of color. The school is a regular public school with no charter or magnet status. No specific information about specialized programs, staffing levels, or discipline practices was provided.

For families in or near Greenview, this school offers the advantage of a small, in-village setting with walking proximity to community facilities, within a district focused on a rural student population. The uneven test performance across grade levels suggests that academic support or curriculum consistency may be worth discussing directly with school staff before enrollment.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
