Summary

Glenwood Park Elementary School is a K–5 school in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving 532 students in the Fort Wayne Community Schools district, where about 67% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. It is a 2-star school in 2025–2026, ranked 652nd of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (36th percentile). The district ranks 274th of 374 districts in Indiana (27th percentile, 1 star). Per-student spending is $10,900, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.2.

Glenwood’s most notable relative strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, far below the district’s 20.2%. Among nearby schools, only Fred H Croninger Elementary School has lower absenteeism (1.5%). In academics, Glenwood beats the district in all core subjects: math is 41.13% vs 29.43%, science is 35.79% vs 27.7%, and ELA is 31.21% vs 29.96%. Its math score matches Robert C Harris Elementary School. Glenwood also does more with less: it has the second-lowest per-student spending ($10,900) and second-highest student-teacher ratio (16.2) among nearby schools, yet it outperforms the district and higher-spending schools such as Adams Elementary School, Forest Park Elementary School, and J Wilbur Haley Elementary School.

Achievement is uneven by grade and subject. Fourth-grade math is a standout at 57.89% proficient, above both district (39.86%) and state (52%). But third-grade ELA is 25.81% vs district 30.47% and state 40.8%; fifth-grade math is 25.53% vs district 30.07% and state 42%; and fifth-grade social studies is 26.6% vs district 33.76% and state 47.2%. All-grade ELA dropped from 37.87% in 2024–2025 to 31.21% in 2025–2026. Science is a relative bright spot versus the district, though fourth-grade science remains below the state’s 43.8%. Social studies is a persistent weakness. Nearby, Fred H Croninger Elementary School—just 1.58 miles away—is a 5-star school ranked in the 99th percentile with 76.05% ELA, 88.35% math, and 71.29% science. Glenwood’s strongest assets are attendance, math, and science; its main challenges are early literacy, fifth-grade math, social studies, and closing the gap to top nearby schools.
