Summary:
The city of Gloversville, New York is home to 5 schools in the Gloversville City School District, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While Gloversville High School shows relatively strong performance in certain Regents exams, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle significantly on the NY State Assessments, with consistently low proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Math.
The data reveals stark differences in academic performance between the high school and lower grade levels. Gloversville High School has a higher-than-average graduation rate of 84.3% and outperforms the district and state averages in several Regents exams, such as Algebra II, Physics, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school struggles in Algebra I and Earth Science, with proficiency rates significantly below the district and state averages.
Across the district, all schools have high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.44% to 75.81%, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance remains low, particularly in the lower grades, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the district to support student learning and achievement.
