Glenwood Leadership Academy

Summary:

Glenwood Leadership Academy is an elementary school in Evansville, Indiana that serves grades K-8 and is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district. Despite high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Indiana elementary schools and struggles with low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Glenwood Leadership Academy's academic performance is significantly lower than nearby schools in the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district, such as Caze Elementary, Vogel Elementary, and Hebron Elementary, as well as the local Joshua Academy charter school. These schools have higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and better overall rankings, despite serving student populations with similar demographic characteristics.

While the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and the school's diverse racial composition may be contributing factors to Glenwood Leadership Academy's low academic performance, the nearby schools with similar demographic characteristics, such as Dexter Elementary and Lincoln School, also struggle academically. This suggests that demographic factors alone do not fully explain the school's challenges, and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as instructional quality, school climate, and community engagement, will be crucial in improving student outcomes at Glenwood Leadership Academy.

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.
