Summary
Glenwood Elementary serves 481 students in kindergarten through grade 6 in Sacramento, in the Robla Elementary district. Its academic results are uneven, but the clearest concern is math: in 2025–2026, 13% of students were proficient, well below the state’s 38% and the district’s 21%.
Glenwood is stronger in science than in its other tested subjects compared with nearby K–6 schools, though it still trails the state. Science proficiency was 19%, close to the district’s 19%, above the nearby-school average of 16%, and 17 percentage points below the state. In ELA, 24% proficiency was below the district’s 29%, the state’s 49%, and the nearby average of 31%. Math was also below the nearby average of 24%. Fourth grade is a particular weak spot: proficiency was 17% in ELA and 7% in math, the lowest results among nearby K–6 schools in both subjects.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 by 2 percentage points in ELA, 1 in math, and 12 in science, but over the four years from 2022–2023, all three subjects declined while state results rose. Glenwood ranks 5,302nd of 5,804 California schools on SchoolDigger, in the 9th percentile, with 0 stars; only one nearby school with a comparable rank scored lower.

Special Education Students ranked at the 44th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with 5th percentile overall. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 24 students per teacher. Also that year, 82% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 89%. Chronic absenteeism fell from 48% in 2021–2022 to 22% in 2025–2026, lower than the district’s 39% but above the state’s 18%.
