Glenellen Elementary

Summary:

Glenellen Elementary is a public elementary school in Clarksville, Tennessee, serving 1,002 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 55 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Glenellen Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with higher percentages of Hispanic (19.56%) and multi-racial (13.67%) students compared to nearby schools like Oakland Elementary, Barkers Mill Elementary, and Northeast Elementary. However, the school's academic performance has declined over the years, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science lower than the county and state averages. Glenellen's statewide ranking has dropped from 231 out of 985 Tennessee elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 533 out of 1,008 in 2023-2024, and its performance is particularly weak in the Special Education subgroup.

Despite Glenellen Elementary's higher spending per student ($9,960 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, which range from $8,923 to $12,491 per student, the school's academic performance remains lower. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and the school should focus on effective allocation and utilization of resources to improve student outcomes. The school's diverse student population and underperformance of specific subgroups also indicate a need for tailored instructional approaches and support services to meet the needs of all students.

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.
