Glendale Elementary

Summary:

Glendale Elementary is a public elementary school in Glen Burnie, Maryland, serving around 400 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Anne Arundel County Public Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 25 school districts in Maryland.

While Glendale Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (40%) and lower percentage of White students (39%), its academic performance consistently ranks in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in MCAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the county and state averages, especially for subgroups like White, African American, and Special Education students. Additionally, Glendale Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.63% to 71.25% over the past few years, much higher than the nearby schools like Oakwood Elementary and George T. Cromwell Elementary.

Despite spending more per student ($18,588 in 2020-2021) and having a lower student-teacher ratio (around 10:1) compared to the nearby schools, Glendale Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 376 out of 845 Maryland elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 494 out of 859 in 2023-2024. This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics and funding may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and the administration and district should explore ways to address the significant achievement gaps and provide additional support to students and families.

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.
