Summary:
The 12801 zip code area of Glens Falls, New York is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Glens Falls City School District, except for Abraham Wing School, which is part of the Glens Falls Common School District. The data reveals a wide range of performance among these schools, with Kensington Road School and Glens Falls Middle School standing out as top performers, while Big Cross Street School and Abraham Wing School struggle to meet proficiency standards.
Kensington Road School ranks 367 out of 2,439 New York elementary schools and outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency. In contrast, Abraham Wing School has the highest spending per student at $28,181, yet does not appear to be achieving the best academic outcomes compared to the other schools. This suggests that simply increasing spending may not be the sole solution to improving performance, and other factors, such as resource allocation and instructional practices, may play a more significant role.
The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates, such as Abraham Wing School and Big Cross Street School, also tending to have the lowest academic performance. This disparity in school performance within the same geographic area highlights the need for the Glens Falls City School District and Glens Falls Common School District to address the underlying factors contributing to these performance gaps and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
