Summary:

Glenmeade Elementary is a public elementary school in Chino Hills, California, serving 424 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Chino Valley Unified School District, which is ranked 520 out of 1,568 districts in the state.

Glenmeade Elementary is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25% of California elementary schools. The school's academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, exceeds the district and state averages. Notably, Glenmeade's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 15% and top 20% of California elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has significantly increased in recent years, reaching 23.9% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools in the Chino Valley Unified School District, such as Michael G.

However, the school's ability to support the academic achievement of Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is a notable strength that could be further explored and shared as a best practice.

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.
