Glendale High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 125th to 227th out of Missouri high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 4 stars out of 5. The school has performed relatively well for its Special Education students, ranking 14th out of 135 Missouri high schools in 2023-2024 with a 5-star rating. However, it has struggled with its performance for other student subgroups, such as Asian, Hispanic, Multi-racial, and Disabled students, often ranking in the bottom half or bottom third of Missouri high schools. Glendale High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 93.9% to 97.6% in recent years, but its test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) have been mixed compared to the state and district averages, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.9% to 36.8% in recent years.
Glendale High's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools like Kickapoo High and Central High, which are also part of the Springfield R-XII district. Kickapoo High, in particular, has consistently outperformed Glendale High in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates. The nearby Logan-Rogersville High, which is in a different district, has also outperformed Glendale High in several key metrics. Addressing the root causes of Glendale High's high rates of chronic absenteeism and focusing on equity and inclusion efforts to support underperforming student groups could be crucial steps in improving the school's overall academic performance.
