Glenview Elementary

Summary:

Glenview Elementary is a public elementary school in Oakland, California, serving 448 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Oakland Unified School District and the state of California in academic assessments, with proficiency rates around 55% in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, compared to the district's 33% and 26%, and the state's 47% and 36%.

Glenview Elementary's strong academic performance extends across different student subgroups, with its female, male, white, and multi-racial students ranking higher than the state averages. However, the school's performance for its Hispanic and African American students is more mixed, with Hispanic students ranking lower than the state average in some years, and African American students ranking in the bottom quartile of the state. The school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, around 29%, may contribute to its academic success, as nearby schools with higher percentages of such students tend to have lower proficiency rates.

Despite Glenview Elementary's academic achievements, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.4% in 2017-2018 to 40.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. This concerning trend may be impacting the school's performance and warrants further investigation. Nonetheless, Glenview Elementary remains a relatively high-performing school within the Oakland Unified School District, outpacing many of its nearby counterparts, such as Fruitvale Elementary and Allendale Elementary, which have significantly lower academic proficiency 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.
