Glenmar Elementary faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools and district/state averages. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (60.07%) than surrounding schools. Academically, Glenmar consistently underperforms in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, with only 16.1% of students proficient in Math compared to 19.3% for Baltimore County and 24.1% for the state. The school also struggles with subgroup performance, ranking in the bottom half of Maryland elementary schools for both male students and low socioeconomic status students. Overall, Glenmar Elementary has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 663 out of 859 Maryland elementary schools.

Despite increased per-student spending and a slight decline in enrollment, Glenmar Elementary continues to face significant challenges. When compared to nearby schools like Joppa View Elementary, which had a 43.1% Math proficiency rate, Glenmar's performance is concerning. The school's high poverty rates, with 48.24% to 65.6% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes.

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.
