Summary

Tanglewood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in South Glens Falls, New York, with an enrollment of 427 students. The school is part of the South Glens Falls Central School District, which is ranked 689 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively high spending per student of $17,098, Tanglewood Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages on the New York State Assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in 5th grade ELA, Tanglewood's proficiency rate was 39.71% compared to the state average of 56.61% and the district average of 41.99%. The school has also struggled to support the academic achievement of certain student subgroups, with rankings for female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students all in the bottom half of New York elementary schools in recent years.

Interestingly, while Tanglewood Elementary School is part of the same school district as Moreau Elementary School and Harrison Avenue Elementary School, it consistently underperforms these nearby schools on state assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, Moreau Elementary had significantly higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA (67.86%) and 3rd grade Math (59.26%) compared to Tanglewood. The data suggests that Tanglewood Elementary School could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted support for underperforming student subgroups to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
