Glenwood City Elementary has improved most, rising from the 25th–26th percentile with 1 star to the 46th percentile with 2 stars, with its overall test average climbing from about 41.5% to 55.3%; its 2.7% chronic absenteeism is far below the district's 8.3% and the state's 17.3%. Glenwood City Middle is steady at the 51st percentile with 3 stars, averaging about 55.0% overall — essentially the state's 55.5%.
Two subject-level gaps stand out: 6th-grade math at the middle school (30.77% proficient vs. 53.6% state, down from 56.25%) and 10th-grade social studies at the high school (38.24% vs. 48.25% state, down from 64.44%). Resources also run opposite to need: the elementary school has the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (42.35%) but the lowest per-student spending ($13,212) and the highest student-teacher ratio (14.6), while the high school has the lowest poverty rate (27.42%), the most spending ($16,635), and the smallest classes (11.9 students per teacher). With enrollments of 143 to 307, a handful of students can shift percentages, so single-year swings should be tracked over time.
