Glenwood

Summary:

Glenwood is an elementary school located in Springfield, MA that serves students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population of 288, Glenwood consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, performing significantly below state and district averages on MCAS assessments.

Glenwood's academic performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools for special education students and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner students perform relatively better, ranking in the middle 50% of state elementary schools. Despite spending significantly more per student ($19,608 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Glenwood's academic outcomes have remained stagnant or declined over the past 10 years.

Interestingly, Brightwood, Samuel Bowles, and Liberty, the other elementary schools in the immediate vicinity, outperform Glenwood across ELA, Math, and Science proficiency rates, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the solution to Glenwood's persistent challenges.

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.
