Summary

Glickman Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, MA, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 315 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating below-average performance.

Glickman Elementary underperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.71% of Glickman students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 41.53% statewide and 22.11% in the Springfield district. However, the school has some bright spots, with its African American and Hispanic students performing better than the state average in certain years.

Compared to nearby schools in the Springfield district, such as Daniel B. Brunton, Hiram L. Dorman, and Frederick Harris, Glickman Elementary generally performs worse on MCAS assessments. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio could be an asset if utilized effectively to provide more individualized attention and support for students.
