Glendale High

Summary:

Glendale High is a public high school located in Springfield, Missouri, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,307 students. It is part of the Springfield R-XII school district, which is ranked 182 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

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.

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.
