Kensington Road School

Summary:

Kensington Road School is an elementary school located in Glens Falls, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 280 students. It is part of the Glens Falls City School District, which is ranked 464 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kensington Road School consistently outperforms the Glens Falls City School District and the state of New York in standardized test scores for both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 61.82% of 3rd graders and 74.58% of 4th graders at Kensington Road School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42.86% and 45.52% for the district, and 42.6% and 47.05% for the state, respectively. Similarly, in Math, 66.67% of 3rd graders and 79.66% of 4th graders at Kensington Road School were proficient or better, compared to 50.74% and 63.16% for the district, and 53.93% and 58.03% for the state. Kensington Road School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, ranking among the top 15-20% of elementary schools in New York. This consistent high performance is evident across different student subgroups, including female, male, and low socioeconomic status students.

While Kensington Road School performs well overall, its performance for special education students is an area of concern. The school's ranking for special education students has been in the bottom 10-20% of New York elementary schools in recent years, indicating a need for improvement in supporting this student population. Additionally, Kensington Road School significantly outperforms the other elementary schools in the Glens Falls City School District, such as Big Cross Street School and Jackson Heights School, which are both ranked in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools. This suggests that Kensington Road School is a high-performing outlier within the district.

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.
