Lake George Elementary School

Summary:

Lake George Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 300 students in grades K-6 in the Queensbury Union Free School District in Lake George, NY. The school has consistently received a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic performance.

Lake George Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic achievement, consistently outperforming the state average on New York State Assessments in both English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 2022-2023, 67.74% of 3rd graders at the school were proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 44.89%, and 74.19% were proficient or better in Math compared to 53.68% statewide. The school also benefits from significantly higher per-student spending ($20,109 in 2022-2023) and a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, both of which likely contribute to its strong academic outcomes. However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse than nearby schools, with 91.67% of students identifying as white in 2022-2023.

In contrast, many of the schools in the surrounding Hudson Falls, South Glens Falls, Glens Falls, Glens Falls City, Hadley-Luzerne, Warrensburg, and Queensbury school districts struggle academically compared to Lake George Elementary, raising questions about equity and resource distribution in the region's public education system.

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.
