Summary:
The city of Glens Falls, New York is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area show a wide range of performance, with some standout performers and others struggling, particularly in the areas of test scores and socioeconomic factors.
Kensington Road School, an elementary school, ranks 367th out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and has a 4-star rating. It has the highest student-teacher ratio among the elementary schools, but its test scores are significantly above the district and state averages, particularly in math. In contrast, Abraham Wing School and Big Cross Street School lag behind in test scores, with a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance.
While the high school, Glens Falls Senior High School, has a 3-star rating and a lower graduation rate than the state average, the Glens Falls Middle School stands out as a relatively strong performer, with test scores above the state averages in many subjects and a 3-star rating. The significant difference in spending per student across the schools, with Abraham Wing School spending nearly three times as much as Kensington Road School, raises questions about the equity of resource allocation and its potential impact on student outcomes.
