Summary:
The Glens Falls Common School District has only one elementary school, Abraham Wing School, which serves students from grades 3 through 6. While the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, its academic performance has been mixed compared to state averages, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding expectations and others falling behind.
Abraham Wing School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) were above the state average in grades 4 and 5 but below the state average in grades 3 and 6 in the 2024-2025 school year. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were above the state average in grade 6 but below the state average in grades 3, 4, and 5. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was slightly above the state average. However, in the previous year (2023-2024), the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state average in both ELA and Math across all grades.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school serves a high-need student population, with 60.84% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending of $25,947 for the 2023-2024 school year suggests that it may have access to additional resources to support its students.
