Summary

Glendale Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Princeton City School District in Cincinnati, Ohio. With 240 students, the school has faced some challenges, including consistently underperforming on standardized tests compared to the district and state averages.

One key area of concern is Glendale Elementary's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 12.8% to 28.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71.67% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 15.6 over the past few years.

Interestingly, Glendale Elementary's African American and Hispanic students perform relatively well compared to their peers in the state, ranking in the top quartile of Ohio elementary schools in those subgroups. The school also spends more per student ($12,994) than nearby Springdale Elementary ($12,164) and Heritage Hill Elementary ($11,272), though this higher spending does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The nearby Woodlawn Elementary and Springdale Elementary schools, which are also part of the Princeton City School District, outperform Glendale Elementary on most academic metrics, suggesting potential opportunities for Glendale to learn from its higher-performing peers.
