Glenn High School

Summary:

Glenn High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Leander, Texas, with a student population of 2,063. The school is part of the Leander Independent School District, which is ranked 200 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

While Glenn High School maintains a strong four-year graduation rate, it faces some academic performance challenges compared to nearby high schools like Cedar Park High School, Vista Ridge High School, and Leander High School. The school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course exams is mixed, with better-than-state-average results in some subjects but lower-than-district-average scores in others, particularly in Algebra I. Additionally, the school's dropout rate, while low, is slightly higher than some of the other schools in the district.

When analyzing the performance of different student subgroups, Glenn High School shows some areas of concern. The school's ranking for Asian, Native American, and Gifted and Talented students is relatively low compared to other Texas high schools, and the performance for White students is in the bottom half of Texas high schools, indicating an achievement gap. These challenges may be related to the school's higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged 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.

Open Quote Racial profiling must be addressed at this campus. And the staff at this school is so sick and discussing they had bets placed on how many students they could catch vaping. Maybe if the educators spent as much time teaching there classes as they do looking for kids with vapes this school would be worth attending. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is full of bigoted teachers who gossip about there students and ignore there needs. And the admin would rather protect the teachers than addressing the concerns and needs of there students. If you or you child choose to be educated in this school you will not receive a education. You will be trained to pass standardized test and constantly mentally harassed by staff and educators... Close Quote

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.
