Summary

Glenwood Leadership Academy is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Evansville, Indiana, which is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation district. Despite higher per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Glenwood Leadership Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Indiana elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0 or 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenwood Leadership Academy significantly underperforms the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation and the state of Indiana on ILEARN standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 7.88% of Glenwood students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 33.19% for the district and 40.3-42.7% statewide. In math, only 11.34% of Glenwood students were proficient, compared to 34.76% for the district and 34.5-51.5% statewide. Additionally, Glenwood has had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 28.5% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district average.

Comparing Glenwood to nearby schools in the same district, it is clear that Glenwood is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Schools like Caze Elementary, Vogel Elementary, and Harper Elementary, while still below state averages, perform significantly better than Glenwood on most metrics. Addressing the challenges facing Glenwood Leadership Academy, such as high poverty and chronic absenteeism, will likely require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes.
