Glenwood Elementary

Summary:

Glenwood Elementary is a public elementary school located in West Plains, Missouri, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 236 students. The school is part of the Glenwood R-VIII district, which is ranked 286 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenwood Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.7% to 26.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Bakersfield Elementary (13.5%) and Howell Valley Elementary (13.6%). The school's test scores are also consistently below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subjects, with particularly low performance in 5th and 8th grade Math, where only 9.1% and 5% of students are proficient, respectively.

Glenwood Elementary's performance has declined over time, with its statewide ranking steadily dropping from a high of 635 out of 1,032 Missouri elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 776 out of 898 in 2022-2023. The school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is particularly concerning, with these subgroups ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri elementary schools. While Glenwood Elementary is surrounded by several other elementary schools, it consistently underperforms its neighbors, such as Richards Elementary and South Fork Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

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.
