Summary

Glenmeade Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 449 students in the Chino Valley Unified School District, located in an area with many highly-rated schools.

The school has shown impressive long-term improvement, rising from the 41st to the 70th percentile over the past 12 years, and it performs above state averages in all subjects. It shows particular strength in supporting Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. However, Glenmeade's academic results are notably lower than those of several nearby schools in the same district, such as Country Springs Elementary and Michael G. Wickman Elementary, especially in science and mathematics. A significant challenge is chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 16.4% that is higher than the district average and much higher than neighbors like Hidden Trails Elementary (2.0%).

Recent data shows a slight dip in its overall ranking, and there are wide variations in performance between grade levels, particularly in math. While Glenmeade spends more per student than some higher-performing schools nearby, it faces specific challenges, including a recent increase in the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Parents should note the school's strong historical progress and effective support for certain student groups, while also considering the academic gaps compared to its immediate neighbors and the importance of consistent attendance.
