South Glens Falls Central School District

The South Glens Falls Central School District serves 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district demonstrates a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools like Oliver W Winch Middle School and Ballard Elementary School showing relatively strong test scores and proficiency rates, while others struggle to meet state averages.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance across the district. Oliver W Winch Middle School stands out with 100% proficiency rates in Regents Algebra I and Living Environment exams, as well as a higher-than-average 8th grade science proficiency rate. Ballard Elementary School also demonstrates strong performance, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math. However, the district struggles with math proficiency, especially in Algebra I, which is significantly below state averages.

The South Glens Falls Central School District also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates at the high school level and disparities in per-student spending across the schools. These factors may contribute to the district's slightly below-average four-year graduation rate and higher-than-average dropout rate at the high school. By addressing these areas of concern and building on the strengths of its standout schools, the district can work towards providing more consistent, high-quality education for all students.
