Glenbrook Elementary School

Summary:

Glenbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Streamwood, Illinois, serving 452 students in grades K-6. It is part of the School District U-46, which is ranked 578 out of 813 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenbrook Elementary School consistently outperforms the School District U-46 and the state of Illinois in academic achievement, with 39.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) and 32.4% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 30.7% and 21.7% for the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly strong in 6th grade ELA, where 61.6% of students are proficient or better, compared to 38.8% for the district and 46.7% for the state. Glenbrook also has a strong performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, who rank among the top Illinois elementary schools in ELA. However, when compared to higher-performing schools in the neighboring Schaumburg CCSD 54 district, such as Elizabeth Blackwell Elementary, Albert Einstein Elementary, and Hoover Math and Science Academy, Glenbrook's performance, while still commendable, is not as exceptional.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, Glenbrook Elementary School has seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 35.2% in 2021-2022 to 23.0% in 2023-2024. The school's ability to maintain high academic standards despite its socioeconomic challenges is a testament to the dedication of its staff and the effective use of its resources, which include a student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and a per-student spending of $12,778, higher than the state average but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools in Schaumburg.

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.
