Summary

Glenridge Elementary in Landover Hills, MD, is a public school serving 723 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic need.

Academically, Glenridge Elementary has historically performed in the bottom quarter of Maryland elementary schools, with a current state ranking at the 20th percentile. A key concern is the stark contrast between subjects: while 32.3% of students are proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), only 10.3% are proficient in Mathematics, with 4th and 5th grade math proficiency rates dropping to 4.4% and 10.5%, respectively. This suggests that while literacy instruction is showing some results, math instruction requires urgent intervention. Additionally, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.2%, which is the highest among its immediate neighbors and significantly above the district average of 30.2%. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 14:1 compared to nearby schools like Beacon Heights Elementary (10.8:1) and Lamont Elementary (11.5:1), which may impact individualized attention.

Despite these challenges, there is a positive trend: Glenridge's state ranking has improved over the last three years, moving from the 8th percentile to the 20th percentile, suggesting recent school-wide initiatives may be having an impact. However, the school's per-student spending of $19,368 is lower than several nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Lamont Elementary ($23,372) and Judge Sylvania W. Woods Senior Elementary ($22,047). Interestingly, Glenridge is located just 0.14 miles from Woodridge Elementary, which has similar demographics and low proficiency rates, but only 1.49 miles from Glenarden Woods Elementary, a top-performing school with 83% math proficiency and only 8.2% chronic absenteeism, highlighting how school performance in this area is heavily influenced by socioeconomic factors.
