Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School

Summary:

Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 253 students in grades PK-6 in Reinbeck, Iowa, which is part of the Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District. The school generally performs above the state average on standardized tests, but has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (94.07%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Orchard Hill Elementary (80.05% white) and Lou Henry Elementary (47.53% white). The school also spends more per student ($13,873) than many of its neighbors, which range from $10,912 to $13,402 per student. However, the school's performance lags behind some of the top-performing schools in the region, such as Bess Streeter Aldrich Elementary and Dike Elementary.

While Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (33.2%) than the state average, it is lower than some nearby schools like Lou Henry Elementary (58.49%) and North Tama Elementary (40.07%). This, combined with the school's racial homogeneity, could indicate potential equity challenges that the school and district may need to address.

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.
