Summary

Glasgow Elementary is a public elementary school in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving 253 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Riverview Gardens School District, which is ranked 363 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glasgow Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 36.9% to 65.3% over the past few years, far exceeding the state average and the rates of nearby schools in the Riverview Gardens district. The school's academic performance is also extremely low, with only 7.3% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 41.4% and the district average of 9.1%. Additionally, Glasgow Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 98.88% to 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the challenges faced by Glasgow Elementary are significant, they are not unique within the Riverview Gardens district. Nearby schools such as Meadows Elementary, Gibson Elementary, and Danforth Elementary also have very low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that the issues are systemic within the district. Addressing the underlying factors, such as the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the low per-student spending, will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Glasgow Elementary and throughout the Riverview Gardens School District.
