The school is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in the state of Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenn Dale Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, with a low statewide ranking of 633 out of 859 Maryland elementary schools and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on standardized tests is also significantly below the state and district averages, with only 15.3% of students proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics and 29.8% proficient or better in MCAP/English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 24.1% and 48.4%, respectively. Additionally, a high percentage (72.62%) of students at Glenn Dale Elementary receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($18,057) and low student-teacher ratio (10.9 to 1), its academic performance remains well below state and district averages. This suggests that the school may be facing broader challenges, such as addressing socioeconomic disparities in the local community or implementing more effective resource allocation strategies. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's struggles and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
