Summary

Glenwood Elementary School is a K-4 elementary school in Oak Ridge, TN, serving 372 students as part of the high-performing Oak Ridge Schools district, which ranks in the 90th percentile statewide. Glenwood itself has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 154th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools (85th percentile), placing it comfortably among the stronger elementary schools in the area.

Academically, Glenwood posts proficiency rates well above both district and state averages. In the most recent testing year, 63.3% of students were proficient in math and 58.7% in English language arts — roughly 9–10 percentage points above the district and about 20 points above the state in math. Science proficiency (60.7%) also exceeds the state average. Among nearby schools, only Linden Elementary outranks Glenwood (77th vs. 154th), while Woodland Elementary, Grand Oaks Elementary, and Willow Brook Elementary all rank behind it.

One of Glenwood's standout features is its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.6% — roughly half the state average of 18.3% and far better than nearby Willow Brook's 18.6%. The school spends generously at about $17,300 per student, maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio near 12:1, and has shown remarkable improvement over the past decade, climbing from the bottom quarter of Tennessee schools in 2016-17 to the top 15% today. Glenwood is especially effective for African American students, who rank in the top 5% statewide, and male students, who have ranked in the top 6% in recent years. While math scores dipped somewhat recently and science remains a relative weak spot, Glenwood's long-term trajectory, strong attendance culture, and consistent subgroup success make it a dependable choice for families.

My daughter has attended Glenwood for 2 years. She loves it. My son began this year and he likes it already. They are very accommodating to a few extra needs that my son requires and I've always had pleasant experiences when dealing with the teachers, front desk, or any other staff. Close Quote
