Summary

Eleanor J. Toll Middle is a large public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Glendale Unified district, with an enrollment of about 1,400 students that reflects the diverse community of Glendale, CA.

Academically, the school's test scores are close to the state average but are consistently below the high averages of its own district, particularly when compared to a school like Rosemont Middle. However, the school demonstrates a significant strength in effectively educating high-need students, with its English Language Learners, low-income, and homeless student groups consistently ranking in the top tiers statewide. While chronic absenteeism has improved greatly since the pandemic, it remains an area for focus. The school operates with moderate per-student spending compared to neighboring districts, achieving solid results relative to its resources.

Performance varies across different student groups, with the school showing particular effectiveness for Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. The school's overall statewide ranking has seen a slight gradual decline, which appears to be due to improvement at other schools rather than a drop in its own quality. Key takeaways for parents are that Eleanor J. Toll Middle is a large, diverse school with commendable support systems for vulnerable populations, though it faces the challenge of significant performance gaps within its own district and varying outcomes for different subgroups of students.
