Summary

Glyndale Elementary School in Brunswick, GA, serves approximately 585 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Glynn County School District, and has shown steady improvement over the past several years, climbing from the 30th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 47th percentile in 2025-2026.

Glyndale is a school on the rise, and the most encouraging news is in mathematics. In the most recent testing year, 4th grade math proficiency jumped to 48.2%, up from 32.2% the year before—nearly matching the district average (52.2%) and coming close to the state average (50.1%). Fifth grade science also improved to 40.2%. The school has earned 2-star ratings for four straight years after previously holding 1-star ratings, and its current ranking of 650th out of 1,219 schools is its best in a decade. Notably, Glyndale ranks in the 75th percentile statewide for its African American students, a 4-star rating that far exceeds the school's overall ranking and suggests effective strategies that could serve as a model for other schools. However, there is a gender gap: male students rank in the 55th percentile while female students rank in the 34th percentile, indicating recent gains have been driven more by boys.

The biggest challenge facing Glyndale is chronic absenteeism. At 27.0%, the rate is nearly double the district average (15.0%) and the highest among comparable elementary schools in the county. This is especially striking when compared to Golden Isles Elementary, just over a mile away, which serves the same 100% free/reduced lunch population but has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 14.4% and outperforms Glyndale in most subjects. The school spends $16,142 per student and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, yet outcomes lag behind schools with similar spending, suggesting that attendance—not poverty alone—is a key lever for improvement. If Glyndale can reduce absenteeism to the level of its neighbor, the academic gains could be substantial, helping the school build on its positive momentum.
