School does not take the time to care about the children as much as it cares for the $. The school is not well ran. I would love to talk to the superintendent about how this school is.Lice is a consent in this school as well. And The principal Gloria Espinoza prefers the Spanish parents over anyone else, and turns her nose down at non Hispanics. The Vice principal mr Solowski is this best ever!

Greene has a new principal this year that I don't know because I transfered my child out for the 2007-08 school year. She wasn't advancing and stagnating in 5th grade. The old principal wouldn't listen to parents complaints about her staff. Most were ok but there were exceptions and unfortunetly nothing would be done about those that didn't perform up to standards. we pulled out to send our child to a private school down the block and found how backed up in Math and Reading our child is this school year. With a new principal you never know what will change or not so sorry that I don't have that info. As far as safety goes, it was outstanding.

My child is in kindergarten and I have been disappointed in the 2 months that he has been at Greene, so far. They don't send home information, I don't get the impression that parent involvement is encouraged and there seems to be a revolving door of teachers- every few weeks there is a new one- very discouraging.

The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
