Summary

Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Reinbeck, Iowa, with an enrollment of 257 students. The school has a history of strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School's students have demonstrated impressive academic achievement, with 78.9% proficiency in 4th grade ELA compared to the state average of 76% in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.8% to 23.4% over the past few years, which is an area the school may want to address. Compared to nearby schools, such as Bess Streeter Aldrich Elementary and Dike Elementary, which have even stronger academic performance, Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School still performs well, with a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.57% to 33.2% over the past few years.

By continuing to focus on best practices and learning from high-performing nearby schools, Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School can maintain and potentially improve its academic outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.1 to 14.3 over the past few years, suggests a more personalized learning environment for students, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. Overall, Gladbrook-Reinbeck Elementary School is a strong-performing elementary school within the Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District, providing a quality education to its students.
