Summary

Glenham School is an elementary school located in Fishkill, NY, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 396 students. It is part of the Beacon City School District, which is ranked 608 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glenham School faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly on state assessments, where its scores are generally below the district and state averages across grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32.91% of 3rd graders at Glenham School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.36% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 617 out of 2,413 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,678 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools for female students and African American students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Beacon City School District, such as South Avenue School and Sargent School, generally perform better than Glenham School on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Furthermore, some of the nearby magnet schools in the Newburgh City School District, such as New Windsor School and Horizon-On-The-Hudson School, also outperform Glenham School on state assessments, despite serving a higher proportion of students from low-income backgrounds. Schools in the neighboring Wappingers Central School District, such as James S Evans Elementary School and Brinckerhoff Elementary School, consistently outperform Glenham School as well.
