Glenns Valley Elementary School

Q: Is Glenns Valley Elementary School a good school?

Glenns Valley Elementary School ranks 306 th of 1010 Indiana elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Glenns Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 726 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Perry Township Schools district. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, diverse student population, and unique challenges compared to nearby schools.

Academically, Glenns Valley Elementary consistently outperforms the Perry Township district and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores, with 45.69% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 58.47% in math - significantly higher than the district averages. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Center Grove Community School Corp district, such as Sugar Grove Elementary and Pleasant Grove Elementary, Glenns Valley's performance lags behind, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.

Glenns Valley's diverse student population, with a significant Asian student representation, contrasts with the higher percentage of white students at nearby schools. However, the school faces challenges related to a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 16.4% and a larger proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 70.25% receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may contribute to Glenns Valley's lower performance compared to the higher-income Center Grove schools, which have lower chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch rates. Addressing these challenges could help Glenns Valley continue to improve and provide a high-quality education for its students.

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.
