Glen Dale Elementary School

Summary:

Glen Dale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 210 students in grades PK-5 in Glen Dale, West Virginia, which is part of the Marshall County Schools district, ranked 20 out of 55 districts in the state with a 3-star rating.

Glen Dale Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in West Virginia, with exceptional academic performance that significantly exceeds the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, 77.1% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 56.6% in the district and 46.3% statewide. The school also excels in the performance of female students, ranking as high as 2nd out of 325 West Virginia elementary schools for this subgroup, as well as for its White and low socioeconomic status student populations. However, the school's performance for special education students is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 25% of West Virginia elementary schools.

While Glen Dale Elementary's consistent high performance and exceptional outcomes for certain student subgroups are noteworthy, the school's lack of racial diversity is in contrast to nearby schools like Center McMechen Elementary and Madison Elementary. This lack of diversity may be an area of concern, as research suggests that diverse learning environments can provide valuable educational and social benefits for 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.
