Summary

Glendening Elementary School is a K–5 school in Groveport, Ohio, serving 504 students as part of Groveport Madison Local, a high-poverty suburban district near Columbus. In 2025–2026, it ranked 1,094 out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (30th percentile, 1 star), slightly above its district's own standing of 584 of 773 districts (24th percentile, 1 star). About 71.91% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–2024, so the school serves a high-need population. Its overall rank has slipped from the 36th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 30th percentile now.

Academically, Glendening is uneven rather than uniformly weak. Third-grade math is a genuine strength, with 64.5% of students proficient — above both the district and the state — and fourth-grade math (64.1%) also beats the district and nears the state. The clear red flag is fifth grade: math proficiency drops to 23.0%, which is 18.4 points below the district and 36.1 points below the state, and the lowest among same-district peers such as Sedalia Elementary (67.6%) and Groveport Elementary (44.9%). Fifth-grade science (44.6%) and ELA (51.4%) also trail the district and state. Math proficiency has repeatedly fallen from fourth to fifth grade for the same students, suggesting a systemic upper-grade issue rather than a one-year dip.

Attendance is a real success story: chronic absenteeism fell from 31.8% in 2021–2022 to 19.8% in 2025–2026, well below the district's 31.2% and second-best among Groveport Madison elementaries. Subgroup results vary widely — multi-racial students rank at the 60th percentile and African American students at the 55th, while White students (18th) and male students (23rd) rank lower. Nearby Winchester Trail Elementary in Canal Winchester Local, about 3.3 miles away, posts far stronger results (57.3% in fifth-grade math, 11.8% absenteeism). Glendening does outrank nearby charter options including Eastland Preparatory Academy and Groveport Community School.
