How Glenwood compares
How the School Grade works
- Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on Washington’s state tests against the state average. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2018–19; graduation: class of 2020.
- The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested.
- Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of Washington only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
- What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
