Glasgow Independent


Summary:

The Glasgow Independent school district in Kentucky serves 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools (2 of which are virtual). While the district generally performs below state averages on standardized tests, South Green Elementary School stands out as a consistent top performer, particularly in mathematics and reading. In contrast, the virtual high schools, Success Academy and Happy Valley Learning Center, struggle with lower test scores and graduation rates compared to the traditional Glasgow High School.

The district's schools face challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic disadvantage in the area. This likely contributes to the overall academic performance issues observed, particularly in mathematics. However, the district's spending per student is in line with state averages, indicating that resources may not be the sole factor driving the underperformance.

While the data highlights areas for improvement, it also reveals pockets of excellence, such as the strong performance of South Green Elementary School. By learning from the practices and approaches used at this higher-performing school, the district may be able to develop targeted interventions and support to drive better outcomes for students across the Glasgow Independent school system.
