Summary

Glenns Valley Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 8239 Morgantown Rd in Indianapolis, Indiana, serving 533 students as part of Perry Township Schools, a district ranked 244th of 374 Indiana districts. The school earned 2 stars in 2025–2026 and ranks 577th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (43rd percentile). Its record is mixed: it reached 4 stars and the 78th percentile in 2018–2019, spiked back to the 70th percentile in 2023–2024, and has since slipped to the 43rd percentile.

There are real bright spots. Math proficiency of 45.71% is about 11 points above the district average of 34.40%, and fourth-grade math (54.35%) tops the state's 52%. Chronic absenteeism of 9.4% is less than half the district's 20.4% and well under the state's 16.7% — among the best of its Perry peers, with only Douglas MacArthur Elementary School lower at 7.6%. The student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and per-student spending of $12,690 are also favorable. Among Perry PK–5 peers, Glenns Valley out-scores Abraham Lincoln Elementary School and Winchester Village Elementary in ELA, math and science, sits near Rosa Parks Elementary School, and trails William Henry Burkhart Elementary and Douglas MacArthur.

The main concern is English/language arts: 33.02% proficiency is slightly below the district average of 34.41% and has fallen from 45.69% in 2023–2024 to 40.31% and then 33.02%. Science (32.61%) and fifth-grade social studies (42.02%) beat district averages but trail state marks, though social studies has improved since 2022–2023. Compared with nearby Center Grove Community School Corp schools — such as North Grove Elementary School, with 67.50% ELA and 66.94% math — Glenns Valley's scores are far lower even though it spends more per student and has smaller classes. The biggest contextual difference is economic: about 70% of Glenns Valley students qualify for free/reduced lunch, versus roughly 36–44% at Sugar Grove Elementary School and Pleasant Grove Elementary School.
