Summary:

The Glenwood R-VIII school district in Missouri has only one school, Glenwood Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. Based on the available data, Glenwood Elementary appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 662 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenwood Elementary faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.7% and significantly lower-than-average test scores in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 5% to 44.4% across grade levels. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state averages, while its English Language Arts performance is mixed, with some grades performing below the state average and others performing slightly better. Additionally, Glenwood Elementary has a high percentage of students (52.97%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Despite these challenges, Glenwood Elementary does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the school's consistent ranking in the bottom third of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years suggests a need for comprehensive improvement strategies to address the persistent issues and support student success.
