Glendale Elementary School

Summary:

Glendale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in East Peoria, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 153 students. The school is part of the East Peoria School District 86, which is ranked 511 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glendale Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 14.2% in 2020-2021 to 27.7% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 33.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 26.7% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 41.2% and 28.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students and students with low socioeconomic status outperforming their peers, while the performance for White students and students with disabilities is notably lower.

When comparing Glendale Elementary School to other nearby schools within the same district, such as P.L. Bolin Elementary School, which consistently outperforms Glendale in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, there may be opportunities for Glendale to learn from the practices and strategies employed at higher-performing schools. Furthermore, the high chronic absenteeism rates at Glendale, coupled with the relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (61.44% in 2022-2023), suggest that addressing attendance and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds could be key focus areas for the school. The declining performance of Glendale Elementary School over the past few years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and star ratings, is also a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.

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.
