This K-5 school has 457 students, and according to state standards, 97% of students are considered proficient in math, and 92% are proficient in reading. In addition to these statistics, key factors, such as the strength of academics, quality of teachers, diversity, as well as the overall quality of the school district, are taken into account in compiling the rankings.

Faculty and staff “support the belief that each child has his or her own strengths that need to be developed to attain educational and personal excellence.” In addition, Glenwood has a very active PTO that helps students to grow together as a community of learners.
