Glendale-River Hills School District

The Glendale-River Hills School District is an active, traditional public school system situated at 2600 W Mill Rd in Glendale, Wisconsin. Operating within the suburban landscape of the greater Milwaukee-Waukesha metropolitan area, this non-charter district serves as a key educational institution for local families by focusing exclusively on early childhood, elementary, and middle school development. Across its two operating facilities, the district offers comprehensive academic programming spanning from pre-kindergarten through the eighth grade, establishing a supportive educational foundation before students transition to secondary high school environments.

With a total enrollment of 973 students, the district fosters a diverse learning community made up of 392 White, 329 Black, 110 multiracial, 105 Hispanic, and 37 Asian learners. The student population is evenly distributed across grade levels, starting with 92 pre-kindergarten participants and maintaining consistent cohorts of approximately 90 to 118 students per grade through eighth grade. To support student achievement and development, the district maintains a remarkably robust staffing model comprising 166 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, nearly 5 instructional aides, and over 170 support staff members—bringing total staffing to more than 341 FTE positions. This high ratio of instructional and support staff to students enables dedicated, individualized attention across all classrooms in the district.
