The district's middle school, Glens Falls Middle School, has mixed results, with 7th graders performing well in Math but 8th graders struggling in ELA. The district should examine the factors contributing to these disparities and implement strategies to support the lower-performing schools while building on the strengths observed at the high school and middle school levels.
