Glenwood Heights Primary

Summary:

Glenwood Heights Primary is an elementary school in Vancouver, Washington, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 4th grade as part of the Battle Ground School District. With a diverse student population, the school faces challenges in student performance, achievement gaps, and high student-teacher ratios compared to nearby schools and the district average.

Glenwood Heights Primary's academic performance on standardized tests lags behind the district and state averages, with proficiency rates of 39.57% in English Language Arts and 38.82% in Math, compared to 51.62% and 39.9% for the district, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, dropping from 513 out of 1,169 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 800 out of 1,169 in 2022-2023. Notably, the school's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students performing relatively better, while students with special needs and from low-income backgrounds struggle more.

Compared to nearby schools like Maple Grove Primary and Pleasant Valley Primary, Glenwood Heights Primary's academic performance is generally lower. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 15.7 students per teacher, compared to the district's average of 14.2. While the school's spending per student is higher than the district average, this increased funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes, potentially due to the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which research has shown can significantly impact student achievement.

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.

Open Quote I have found Glenwood to be a very good school. The teachers that I have worked with have been excellent and really care about their students. It has helped to volunteer in the school and have good communication with my child's teachers.

The one area of disappointment is with the math curriculum. The curriculum is choppy. It does not flow, does not seem to focus on any lesson long enough for it to be learned and does not seem to pull the lessons together. Close Quote

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.
