Summary

Brook Glenn Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Taylors, SC, serving 425 students in grades PK-5 as part of the highly-rated Greenville 01 school district. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with nearly 8 in 10 students eligible for free or reduced lunch, which provides important context for understanding its performance compared to nearby schools.

Despite this challenging demographic, Brook Glenn matches or exceeds state averages in most subjects. For example, 5th grade math proficiency is 55.9% versus the state's 49.1%, and 4th grade science is 53.1% versus 51.6% statewide. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $14,573 per pupil—significantly more than nearby schools like Woodland Elementary ($10,891) or Pelham Road Elementary ($12,179)—and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 14.1:1. Chronic absenteeism is also a bright spot at 21.7%, slightly better than both the district and state averages. While raw test scores trail affluent neighbors like Paris Elementary and Buena Vista Elementary, those schools serve far more affluent populations, making Brook Glenn's results a strong "value-add" story for a school with its poverty level.

The school's biggest area of concern is the declining performance of its English Language Learner (ELL) students. In 2017-2018, Brook Glenn's ELL students ranked in the 96th percentile statewide—a model program—but have since fallen to the 59th percentile. Similarly, Hispanic student performance has dropped from the 58th to the 38th percentile over the past few years. On the positive side, the school's low-income students have shown resilience, ranking in the 77th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. Overall, Brook Glenn is a solid, resource-intensive school doing commendable work with a high-needs population, with its clearest opportunity for improvement lying in reversing the recent decline in support for its ELL and Hispanic students.
