Summary

Glendale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vero Beach, Florida, serving 431 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Indian River District, which is ranked 7th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Glendale Elementary faces some challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 35.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Glendale's test scores are generally lower than the Indian River District and the state of Florida. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Glendale's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 66%, compared to 69% for the Indian River District and 57% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.28% to 73.41% over the past few years, much higher than nearby schools like Beachland Elementary (41.06%) and Osceola Magnet School (51.94%).

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,700 to $13,964 over the past few years, the data suggests that these resources may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. When compared to nearby schools in the Indian River District, Glendale Elementary is underperforming in several key areas. Schools like Beachland Elementary, Osceola Magnet School, and Imagine at South Vero have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, despite serving similar student populations. This presents an opportunity for Glendale Elementary and the Indian River District to evaluate their strategies and implement targeted interventions to address the specific needs of their students.
