Summary

Glenwood Elementary School in Rutland, MA, is a grades 3–5 school with 382 students, located at 65 Glenwood Road and serving as the next step for Rutland families after Naquag Elementary School, one of six schools in the Wachusett district.

For 2025–2026, Glenwood ranks 360th of 899 ranked Massachusetts schools — 60th percentile with 3 stars. That is above the state average in every subject but below its own district average. In ELA it scores 42.78, about 2.8 points above the state and 6.6 points behind Wachusett; in math it scores 50.00, 8.9 points above the state but 3.8 behind the district. Compared with nearby Wachusett schools, Dawson, Leroy E.Mayo, and Davis Hill Elementary all rank higher and earn 4 stars, while Thomas Prince and Paxton Center sit close to Glenwood. Math is the improving subject, and fifth-grade math at 54.55 is the school’s standout result. Fourth-grade ELA at 37.14 is the clearest soft spot, and science remains volatile because only grade 5 takes it.

Two other practical points stand out for parents. Glenwood has the largest classes in its district comparison set at 14.8 students per teacher, up from 14.1 in 2022–23 and stable for two years, while Davis Hill Elementary is at 11.3. The low-income subgroup trend is the most concerning trajectory: from the 95th percentile (5 stars) in 2023–24 to the 89th percentile (4 stars) in 2024–25 to the 67th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–26. The school’s special-education results are about average, and its overall 60th-percentile standing masks a mix of stronger and weaker group outcomes. Spending figures are dated—most recently $14,626 per pupil in 2020–21—and free/reduced-lunch data are not reported, so poverty context is unavailable. The main things to watch are fourth-grade ELA, the low-income slide, and class size.
