Robert B Glenn High School

Summary:

Robert B Glenn High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Kernersville, North Carolina, which is part of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district. The school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from a high of 296 out of 476 schools in 2016-2017 to 598 out of 640 schools in the most recent 2023-2024 ranking.

Robert B Glenn High School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (46.74%) compared to the district (27.4%) and state (13.1%) averages, while having a lower percentage of White students (20.21%) compared to the district (41.6%) and state (47.1%) averages. The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on End-of-Course (EOC) exams across all subject areas, with particularly concerning performance for its African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner student subgroups. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 41.88% in 2020-2021 to 71.74% in 2022-2023, much higher than the district average of 50.6%.

For example, Atkins Academic & Technical High, a magnet school within the same district, consistently outperforms Robert B Glenn High School on EOC exams and has a much higher statewide ranking. Addressing the challenges faced by Robert B Glenn High School, including racial disparities, economic disadvantage, and declining academic performance, will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach from the school and the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools district.

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.
