Glen Park Elementary

Summary:

Glen Park Elementary is a public elementary school in San Francisco, California, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the San Francisco Unified School District. While the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, it faces challenges in academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages.

Glen Park Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized assessments, is generally lower than the San Francisco Unified School District and the state of California. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy was 36.69% at Glen Park Elementary, compared to 53.73% for the district and 47.04% for the state. Similarly, in Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Glen Park Elementary was 41.91%, while the district and state averages were 45.59% and 35.54%, respectively. The school's performance in Science is also lower than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, when comparing Glen Park Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, some notable differences emerge. San Francisco Community Alternative, a K-8 school located just 0.53 miles away, has consistently outperformed Glen Park Elementary in academic assessments. Similarly, Sunnyside Elementary and Miraloma Elementary, located 0.73 and 0.88 miles away, respectively, have significantly higher academic performance compared to Glen Park Elementary. The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have increased from 11.9% in 2017-2018 to 39.0% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.

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.
