Summary

Glenn Duncan S.T.E.M. Academy is an elementary school located in Reno, Nevada, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 348 students. The school is part of the Washoe County School District, which is ranked 4 out of 12 districts in Nevada and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's STEM focus and relatively high per-student spending, Glenn Duncan S.T.E.M. Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nevada elementary schools, with low proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading that are significantly below the Washoe County and Nevada state averages. The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 25.6% to 28.1%, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. Nearby schools, such as Coral Academy Elementary, generally outperform Glenn Duncan S.T.E.M. Academy on academic measures, despite serving similar student populations.

The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and high-need subgroups, such as English Language Learners and students with special needs, may present unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support. Examining the practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools could provide insights into effective approaches that could be implemented at Glenn Duncan S.T.E.M. Academy to improve academic outcomes for its students.
