Glendale Elementary School

Q: Is Glendale Elementary School a good school?

Glendale Elementary School ranks 990 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Glendale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vero Beach, Florida, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school is part of the high-performing Indian River District, it faces some unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

Glendale Elementary has a higher percentage of White students and a lower percentage of Hispanic students than the surrounding schools. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.3% in 2019-2020 to 30.0% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Glendale's test scores, while generally above the state average, are lower than the Indian River District and some of the nearby schools, such as Beachland Elementary, Osceola Magnet, and Imagine at South Vero.

Glendale Elementary School also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.28% to 73.95% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Despite these challenges, the school's performance is still above the state average in many areas, and with targeted interventions and support, there is potential for Glendale to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
