Best Public Schools in South Glens Falls, NY

Summary:

The South Glens Falls, New York area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the South Glens Falls Central School District. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly white student population, they exhibit a range of academic performance and resource allocation.

The standout school in the area is Oliver W Winch Middle School, which ranks among the top 689 middle schools in New York and outperforms the district and state averages on key academic metrics. In contrast, the elementary schools generally lag behind the state in ELA and math proficiency, with Harrison Avenue Elementary School standing out as the school with the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the highest per-student spending.

The data also reveals significant variations in resource allocation, with per-student spending ranging from $12,466 at Tanglewood Elementary to $19,914 at Harrison Avenue Elementary. This raises questions about the equity and efficiency of resource distribution within the district. Additionally, the schools have seen a decline in their SchoolDigger ratings over the past three years, suggesting a need for further investigation and potential improvement efforts.
