Harrison Avenue Elementary School

Summary:

Harrison Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school in South Glens Falls, New York, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the South Glens Falls Central School District, which is ranked 659 out of 866 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Harrison Avenue Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.02%) compared to nearby schools, it consistently underperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was 21.43%, compared to the district's 26.32% and the state's 44.89%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 44.4% to 52.65% over the past three years, higher than Moreau Elementary School (39.44%) and Tanglewood Elementary School (33.42%).

Despite the high spending per student at Harrison Avenue Elementary School, ranging from $15,434 to $19,914 over the past four years, the school's performance continues to decline relative to other schools in the state. The school's ranking has dropped from 977 out of 2,201 New York elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 2,051 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the high spending is not translating into better academic outcomes for students. This raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the effectiveness of the school's educational programs.

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.
