Summary

Glenwood Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenfield, Wisconsin, serving 317 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenfield School District, which is ranked 324 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenwood Elementary faces significant challenges in student academic performance, particularly in mathematics. The school's performance on the Forward Exam has been consistently below the Greenfield School District and Wisconsin state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 51.28% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.13% for the district and 52.14% for the state. The school's performance is especially low in mathematics, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates ranging from 26% to 35.9% in recent years, compared to the district and state averages of around 50%. Additionally, Glenwood Elementary has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.1% to 19.5% in recent years, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools, Edgewood Elementary, another school in the Greenfield School District, outperforms Glenwood Elementary on the Forward Exam, particularly in mathematics and social studies. However, nearby schools in the Milwaukee School District, such as Whitman Elementary and Manitoba Elementary, also have lower academic performance compared to Glenwood Elementary, with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
