Glens Falls Common School District

The Glens Falls Common School District is home to a single elementary school, Abraham Wing School, which serves grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 155 students. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, its academic performance remains consistently poor, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math well below the state averages across all grade levels.

Abraham Wing School's student population is predominantly white (78.06%), with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students (80.65%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's ranking has remained in the bottom quartile of New York elementary schools for the past three school years, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school faces significant challenges in addressing the academic needs of its student population, which may be influenced by the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

While the higher-than-average spending per student at Abraham Wing School indicates a commitment to resource allocation, the lack of improvement in academic performance over the years suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. A more comprehensive approach, involving targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a deeper understanding of the specific needs of the student population, may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes at the school.
