Summary

Glenn Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Normal, Illinois, serving 245 students in grades K-5. It is part of the McLean County Unified School District 5, which is ranked 432 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Glenn Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle-to-upper range of Illinois elementary schools, with 50.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 39.1% proficient or better in mathematics, which is on par with the district and state averages. The school's performance in science is stronger, with 45% of 5th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the district and state. However, the school has seen some variability in the performance of different student subgroups, with female students outperforming male students and students with special education needs performing relatively well, while students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled.

Compared to other schools in the McLean County Unified School District 5, Glenn Elementary School is generally on par or slightly below, but it stands out as a relatively stronger performer when compared to the Bloomington School District 87 schools. The exception is Thomas Metcalf School, a highly-ranked public laboratory school affiliated with Illinois State University, which has significantly higher academic achievement across all subjects and grade levels. Additionally, Glenn Elementary School faces challenges related to a high chronic absenteeism rate and a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which may be contributing to the school's academic performance.
