Glenwood Elementary School

Summary:

Glenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rutland, Massachusetts, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 333 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Wachusett school district, which is ranked 91 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Glenwood Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (83.48%) compared to the state average (39.17%), its academic performance has been a concern. The school's MCAS proficiency rates are generally lower than the Wachusett district and state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Glenwood's proficiency rate in ELA for all grades was 42.35% compared to 49.13% for Wachusett and 39.17% for the state. Additionally, Glenwood's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 282 out of 942 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 378 out of 916 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has also dropped from 4 stars to 3 stars during this period.

Interestingly, Glenwood's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students ranking 13th out of 420 elementary schools in 2022-2023, while white students rank 477th out of 753 in 2023-2024. This suggests the need to investigate the factors contributing to these disparities. Furthermore, Glenwood's academic achievement is generally lower than the nearby Major Edwards Elementary, West Tatnuck, Leroy E. Mayo, Paxton Center, and Davis Hill Elementary schools, which have higher MCAS proficiency rates and better statewide rankings.

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.
