Glenridge Elementary

Summary:

Glenridge Elementary is a public elementary school in Kent, Washington, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Kent School District. With a diverse student population and a mix of academic performance, Glenridge has some areas of strength but also faces challenges common to many schools serving low-income communities.

One of Glenridge's key strengths is its diverse student body, with significant representation of Asian (37.44%), White (19.06%), African American (15.25%), and Hispanic (16.82%) students. The school also performs well in supporting English Language Learners and special education students, ranking in the top 25% and top 11% of Washington elementary schools, respectively, in these areas. Academically, Glenridge's 5th-grade students have consistently outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency, and the school's Asian and African American student subgroups have performed relatively well compared to their peers.

However, Glenridge Elementary has faced fluctuations in its overall academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 294 to 626 out of 1,168 Washington elementary schools in recent years. This may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 50% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While Glenridge's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than some nearby schools like Soos Creek Elementary and Panther Lake Elementary, it lags behind higher-performing schools in the Kent School District such as Sunrise Elementary, Lake Youngs Elementary, and Carriage Crest Elementary.

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.
