Summary:
The two elementary schools located in the 47713 zip code area, Glenwood Leadership Academy and Lincoln School, are both part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district and serve predominantly non-white, socioeconomically disadvantaged student populations. Unfortunately, these schools are struggling academically, with very low proficiency rates on state assessments and poor rankings compared to other Indiana elementary schools.
Glenwood Leadership Academy ranked 1007 out of 1010 Indiana elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Lincoln School fared slightly better, ranking 944 out of 1010 schools, but still with a 0-star rating. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.2% to 27.8%, which likely contribute to their low academic performance. Proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments are dismal, ranging from 0% to 14.71% at Glenwood Leadership Academy and 0% to 20% at Lincoln School, significantly underperforming the district and state averages.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending at these schools, the data suggests that the complex challenges they face, such as serving high-need student populations and potential resource constraints at the district level, are hindering their ability to improve student outcomes. Targeted interventions and additional support may be necessary to address the root causes of the low performance and help these schools better serve their communities.
