Summary:

The Glencoe-Silver Lake School District consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from the Glencoe-Silver Lake area. The district's schools exhibit a mix of high-performing and lower-performing academic outcomes, with Lakeside Elementary standing out as the top performer in the district.

Lakeside Elementary consistently achieves high proficiency rates on MCA-III math and reading assessments, often exceeding the district and state averages. In contrast, Lincoln Elementary and Glencoe-Silver Lake Senior High have relatively higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a larger population of economically disadvantaged students. Meanwhile, GSL Junior High School lags behind the district and state in both math and reading proficiency, particularly in the 7th and 8th grade levels, suggesting a need for targeted interventions.

Across the district, science proficiency is a concern, with all schools scoring below the state average. This presents an opportunity for the Glencoe-Silver Lake School District to focus on improving science education and addressing the performance gap in this subject area.
