Tanglewood Elementary School

Summary:

Tanglewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in South Glens Falls, New York, serving 404 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the South Glens Falls Central School District, which is ranked 659 out of 866 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Tanglewood Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.05%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance on state assessments is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, Tanglewood's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 17.57%, compared to the district's 26.32% and the state's 44.89%. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups. Tanglewood's spending per student has increased in recent years but remains lower than some nearby schools, such as Harrison Avenue Elementary ($19,914 per student) and Moreau Elementary ($15,331 per student).

Tanglewood Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 705 out of 2,325 New York elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 2,026 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023. This suggests a concerning trend of declining academic performance. Additionally, the school's high percentage of white students (95.05%) may indicate a lack of racial diversity, and its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (33.42%) suggests socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes. Addressing these issues and learning from the successes of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Harrison Avenue Elementary and Moreau Elementary, could be important steps in improving the educational experience and outcomes for Tanglewood's students.

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.
