Glendale Landmark School

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Glendale Landmark School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Glendale Elementary District in Glendale, Arizona, with a student population of 828. The school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 9% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 20% proficient in mathematics, compared to 21% and 25% in the district, and 41% and 43% statewide, respectively.

Glendale Landmark School has a very low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom 20% of Arizona elementary schools. The school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 50% of Arizona elementary schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in its dropout rate, rising from 0.4% in 2018-2019 to 2.3% in 2021-2022.

Interestingly, nearby schools within the same district, such as Horizon School and Glendale American School, consistently outperform Glendale Landmark School on standardized tests and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the educational opportunities and resources available at Glendale Landmark School may not be on par with those of its counterparts, despite the high percentage of low-income students at the school.
