Glenham School

Summary:

Glenham School is an elementary school located in Fishkill, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 362 students. It is part of the Beacon City School District, which is ranked 590 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenham School has faced several challenges in recent years. Its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, has declined significantly, with its statewide ranking dropping from the top 25% of New York elementary schools in 2018-2019 to the bottom 30% in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are below the Beacon City School District and New York state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students performing significantly worse than their peers. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, which has increased from $14,843 in 2019-2020 to $20,248 in 2022-2023, its academic outcomes remain below the district and state averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Beacon City School District and the surrounding area, J.V. Forrestal Elementary School, located just 1.69 miles away, outperforms Glenham School on most academic measures and has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. To address the challenges facing Glenham School, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, review their instructional practices, and explore ways to better support their most vulnerable student populations.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
