The school has consistently ranked in the top 25% of New York high schools over the past decade, with strong academic performance, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and English Language Arts.

Scotia-Glenville Senior High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 82-85%, slightly above the state average, and a dropout rate of 5-10%, which is lower than the state average. However, the school has a lower percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to nearby districts like Schenectady and Albany, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. The school also faces some disparities in performance among student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students tending to perform below the state averages on Regents/Common Core exams.

When compared to other high schools in the surrounding area, such as Colonie Central High School, Ballston Spa Senior High School, and Guilderland High School, Scotia-Glenville Senior High School generally outperforms its peers on academic measures. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21-38% in recent years, is a concern that the school may need to address to ensure continued academic success.

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.

Lovely school with a lovely and often crazy community (and I mean crazy in a good way). I'll graduate in 2020 and I'll say that I enjoyed my time here. Close Quote

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.
