Summary

Glendale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in East Peoria, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 155 students. The school is part of the East Peoria School District 86, which is ranked 516 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glendale Elementary School faces several challenges, including lower-than-average student performance on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics below the state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly low for White students, who ranked in the bottom 15% of Illinois elementary schools in these subject areas for the past three school years. However, the school's performance for Special Education and Disabled students is relatively stronger, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools in these subgroups. Additionally, Glendale Elementary School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.1% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's relatively higher per-student spending of $18,159 in the 2023-2024 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, these factors alone do not seem to be driving significant improvements in student outcomes. In comparison, the nearby P.L. Bolin Elementary School has consistently higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grades. However, Glendale Elementary School outperforms some of the other nearby schools, such as Lincoln Elementary School, which has significantly lower proficiency rates across all grades and subject areas.
