Summary

Glenn Harmon Elementary is a PK-4 school in Arlington, TX, serving 401 students as part of the high-performing Mansfield Independent School District (Isd). The school has experienced one of the most dramatic academic turnarounds in the area, jumping from the bottom 5% of Texas elementary schools to the 67th percentile in a single year, now earning a 3-star rating. With over 83% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school maintains a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, which is significantly better than nearby schools like Iltexas Arlington Elementary (15.7:1) and likely a key factor in its recent success.

Glenn Harmon now excels with specific student groups that are often the most challenging to serve, earning 4-star ratings for African American students (84th percentile), Hispanic students (85th percentile), and special education students (80th percentile). This suggests the school's improvement strategy has been particularly effective at closing achievement gaps. In 3rd-grade math, the school's proficiency rate of 59.62% is not only above the state average (44.33%) but is the highest among all nearby schools, including the consistently high-performing Charlotte Anderson Preparatory Academy (54.69%). While the school now outperforms its own district average in 3rd-grade reading and math, 4th-grade scores still lag behind district averages, indicating a need to sustain momentum as students progress.

Compared to other area schools, Glenn Harmon's trajectory is unique. Nearby schools like D P Morris Elementary (46th percentile) and Ashworth Elementary (part of Arlington Independent School District (Isd)) show stable performance, while Glenn Harmon has made a rare single-year leap. The school's higher per-student spending ($11,526) and smaller class sizes are now paying dividends, whereas in previous years these resources did not translate into strong results. This turnaround makes Glenn Harmon a standout within Mansfield ISD, which consistently outperforms Arlington ISD and charter schools like Trinity Basin Preparatory - Arlington and Manara Stem Academy - Arlington in overall rankings and test scores.
