Summary

Glenwood is an elementary school located in Springfield, MA, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 296 students. The school is part of the Springfield school district, which is ranked 321 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Glenwood's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts (ELA) for all grades was 19.83% at Glenwood, compared to 22.11% for the Springfield district and 41.53% for the state. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics for all grades was 25.86% at Glenwood, compared to 17.12% for the district and 40.74% for the state. Glenwood's performance is particularly low in 4th grade ELA, where only 8.82% of students were proficient or better, compared to 26.26% for the district and 40.44% for the state.

Glenwood's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. Alfred G. Zanetti Montessori Magnet School, a nearby school, ranked 285 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and had significantly higher proficiency rates across all subjects and grades. Glenwood has a relatively high per-student spending of $19,608 in the 2020-2021 school year, which is higher than the state average, but this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student learning.
