Summary

Glasgow High School is a public high school located in Newark, Delaware, serving 907 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Christina School District, which is ranked 17 out of 32 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being in the same district, Glasgow High School's performance lags significantly behind its neighboring schools, Christiana High School and Newark High School, both of which have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. Glasgow High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Delaware high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating poor overall performance.

The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 18.07% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to 47.41% statewide. Glasgow High School also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 34.3% in recent years, much higher than the state and district averages. Despite the school's per-student spending of $20,800 in the 2018-2019 school year being higher than the state average, Glasgow High School has failed to make significant improvements in its performance over the past decade, suggesting the need for a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address the underlying issues.
