Greenbrier Elementary School

Summary:

Greenbrier Elementary School is a public elementary school in Glendale, Arizona, serving grades PK-6 and part of the Deer Valley Unified District. The school has seen a decline in its student racial makeup, with the percentage of White students decreasing from 65.93% in 2020-2021 to 58.08% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of Hispanic students has increased from 22.16% to 28.63% during the same period.

Greenbrier Elementary has consistently performed above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, but its performance lags behind the district average, indicating room for improvement. The school has seen varying performance among its student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing well, but struggling with the academic achievement of African American, Native American, and White students. Greenbrier Elementary has also experienced a decrease in its per-student spending, from $10,403 in 2018-2019 to $8,233 in 2021-2022, which is lower than the state average and may impact the school's ability to provide resources and support for its students. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in its student-teacher ratio, from 12.8 in 2020-2021 to 16.5 in 2022-2023, which could potentially affect the level of individualized attention and support available to students.

When compared to other nearby schools, Greenbrier Elementary generally performs better academically, particularly in English Language Arts, than schools in the Deer Valley Unified District and the Peoria Unified School District. However, some schools, such as Highland Lakes School and Challenge Charter School, outperform Greenbrier in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

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.
