Glenn Elementary

Summary:

Glenn Elementary is a public elementary school in Durham, North Carolina, serving 563 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Durham Public Schools district, which is ranked 163 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Glenn Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic (55.24%) and African American (36.23%) students compared to the state average, with a much lower percentage of White students (3.73%). The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in EOG tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27.6% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in reading, compared to the state average of 48.7%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Oak Grove Elementary and Y E Smith Elementary ranking much higher for Hispanic students and students with disabilities.

Glenn Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student ($12,627 in 2018-2019) is higher than the state average, which may be a reflection of the school's efforts to support its economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 1310 out of 1390 North Carolina elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1048 out of 1505 in 2023-2024, with the school's rating dropping from 0 to 2 stars during this period. Nearby schools, such as Sandy Ridge Elementary and Club Boulevard Elementary, have significantly higher academic achievement, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the differences in 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.
