Glover Middle School

Summary:

Glover Middle School is a public middle school in Spokane, Washington, serving around 590 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Spokane School District, which is ranked 123 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glover Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Washington middle schools, with a ranking between 455-461 out of 535-541 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly lower than the Spokane School District and Washington state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 31.13% of Glover students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 48.46% for the district and 52.63% for the state. In math, only 24.66% of Glover students were proficient, compared to 38.41% for the district and 41.68% for the state. Glover Middle School also has a higher percentage of minority students (37.46%) and students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (79.66%) compared to nearby schools like Centennial Middle School and Chase Middle School.

Despite having a higher per-student spending of $19,801 in the 2021-2022 school year, which is above the state average, Glover Middle School's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 in 2022-2023 is lower than the nearby schools. This suggests that the additional funding may not be translating into improved academic outcomes, potentially due to the complex challenges faced by the school's student population. The consistent underperformance, coupled with the socioeconomic and equity-related challenges, indicate that a comprehensive, targeted approach may be necessary to address the unique needs of the students and improve educational outcomes at Glover Middle School.

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.
