Glens Falls Common School District

The Glens Falls Common School District has only one school, Abraham Wing School, which is an elementary school. The school's performance has declined over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1826 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1820 out of 2445 in 2023-2024.

Abraham Wing School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranging from 8.33% to 50% and math proficiency rates ranging from 10% to 50%, compared to the state averages of 42.6% to 47.05% in ELA and 48.93% to 58.03% in math. The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade in 2023-2024 was 30%, compared to the state average of 35%.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $28,181 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 for the 2022-2023 school year, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for students. The school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 80.65% in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the significant achievement gaps observed. Without other schools in the district to compare to, it is difficult to identify best practices or areas for improvement, but the data suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices and support systems to address the declining performance and achievement gaps.
