Summary

Glyndon Elementary in Reisterstown, MD, is a mid-sized school serving 476 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, where about 67% of students come from low socio-economic status households.

The school’s biggest challenge is a very high rate of chronic absenteeism—37.8% for the 2024-2025 school year—which is nearly 50% higher than the district average and far exceeds nearby schools like Chatsworth School (7.1%) and Lyons Mill Elementary (16.0%). This attendance crisis is closely tied to low academic performance, especially in English Language Arts (ELA), where only 33.1% of students are proficient compared to 46.1% for the district and 51.7% for the state. Math proficiency is also low at 20.2%. Despite spending a high $20,574 per student—more than many higher-performing peers—the school’s state ranking has dropped to the 29th percentile, suggesting that resources alone aren’t solving the problem.

On a positive note, Glyndon shows strength with specific student groups, ranking in the 71st percentile for Hispanic students and the 52nd percentile for low-income students, indicating effective programs for these populations. However, the contrast with nearby Chatsworth School (just 0.88 miles away) is striking: Chatsworth has a 38% free/reduced lunch rate, 7.1% absenteeism, and 59.9% ELA proficiency, highlighting how attendance and school culture can dramatically shape outcomes. For parents, the key takeaway is that Glyndon’s low test scores are heavily driven by absenteeism, and the school’s future success likely depends on community-wide efforts to get more students in class every day.
