South Glens Falls Central School District

Summary:

The South Glens Falls Central School District operates 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is located in the town of South Glens Falls, New York, and serves a diverse population with significant economic challenges.

Among the district's schools, Oliver W Winch Middle School stands out for its relatively strong performance on state assessments, with 100% proficiency rates in Regents Living Environment and Algebra I. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from the 689th ranked middle school in 2022-2023 to the 1021st ranked in 2024-2025. In contrast, Ballard Elementary School has the highest proficiency rates on state assessments among the district's elementary schools, particularly in math, with 63.83% of 5th graders proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the district average of 43.72%.

The district faces several challenges, including a high dropout rate of 4.5% at South Glens Falls Senior High School and significant disparities in performance and resource allocation among the elementary schools. Additionally, with over a third of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at all schools, the district serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic performance. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving outcomes for all students in the South Glens Falls Central School District.
