Summary

Glenwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Vestal, New York, serving 301 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Vestal Central School District, which is ranked 247 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Glenwood Elementary School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, the school has shown some strengths, such as a 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 55.36% in 2024-2025, which was higher than the district (62.07%) and state (45.02%) averages. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian and special education students struggling in recent years. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Glenwood Elementary School has increased from 28.57% in 2021-2022 to 35.55% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Vestal Central School District, such as Vestal Hills Elementary School and Tioga Hills Elementary School, Glenwood Elementary School generally performs below its peers. The school's performance also lags behind some neighboring school districts, such as the Maine-Endwell Central School District, which has several elementary schools that outperform Glenwood on state assessments. The significant increase in per-student spending at Glenwood Elementary School, coupled with the rising student-teacher ratio, suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure that additional funding is effectively translated into smaller class sizes and other evidence-based interventions that can support student learning.
