Glenwood City Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 48.65% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 52.07%. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and students with special needs, is also below the state averages for those subgroups. Additionally, Glenwood City Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.2% in 2018-2019 to 18.0% in 2020-2021, which is higher than nearby schools like River Heights Elementary and Oaklawn Elementary.

The analysis also reveals that Glenwood City Elementary's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have declined over the past several years, from a high of 194 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools and a 4-star rating in 2013-2014 to a ranking of 789 out of 1,061 and a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. This downward trend in the school's performance and ranking is concerning and suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to this decline, as well as the opportunity to learn from the practices and strategies employed by the higher-performing nearby schools.

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.
