Summary

South Glens Falls Senior High School is a public high school serving 948 students in grades 9-12 in the South Glens Falls Central School District. The school generally performs above the state average on Regents exams, with particularly strong results in subjects like Regents Chemistry, Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History. The school also maintains a 4-year graduation rate around 84-86%, on par with the state average.

However, South Glens Falls Senior High School faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.9% to 34.1% in recent years, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, the school struggles more with certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of New York high schools for Hispanic, White, special education, and low socioeconomic status students, despite performing relatively well for female and multi-racial students. Interestingly, the school is located in close proximity to several other high-performing high schools, such as Schuylerville High School, Lake George Junior-Senior High School, and Queensbury Senior High School, which generally outperform South Glens Falls on state assessments.

Despite spending more per student than the state average at $20,754 per student in 2023-2024, South Glens Falls Senior High School's performance is still somewhat mixed compared to its higher-spending neighbors. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes, and the school may need to focus on addressing attendance issues and targeting support for underperforming student subgroups to drive overall improvement.
