Summary:

Glyndale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Brunswick, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 621 students. The school is part of the Glynn County School District, which is ranked 58 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Glyndale Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating for the 2023-2024 school year.

Glyndale Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Glynn County and Georgia averages on the Milestones Assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22.1% of 3rd graders at Glyndale were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 36.5% in Glynn County and 38.4% statewide. Additionally, Glyndale has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.23% to 79.63% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Glyndale, ranging from $9,875 to $11,367, and a low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance remains low.

When comparing Glyndale Elementary to nearby schools in the Glynn County district, such as St. Simons Elementary, Satilla Marsh Elementary, and Oglethorpe Point Elementary, it is clear that Glyndale is an outlier in terms of academic performance, consistently underperforming despite serving similar student populations. Glyndale's performance has remained stagnant or even declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school is struggling to implement effective strategies to improve student learning and achievement.

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.
