Summary

Fort Edward School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Fort Edward, New York, with 378 students and part of the Fort Edward Union Free School District. The school faces several key challenges, including lower-than-average test scores, fluctuating graduation and dropout rates, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Fort Edward School's test scores on the New York State Assessments and Regents exams are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2024-2025 the school's proficiency rates ranged from 12.5% to 59.26% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to state averages ranging from 46.74% to 59.7%. The school's graduation rates have fluctuated, ranging from 66.6% to 84.3% in recent years, which are generally lower than the state average. The school's dropout rates have also fluctuated, ranging from 4.5% to 20% in recent years, indicating challenges in student retention and success.

Interestingly, the only nearby school identified in the data is the Washington-Saratoga-Warren-Hamilton-Essex BOCES, which is an alternative school serving a similar population. However, the BOCES school has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 3.6, compared to Fort Edward School's ratio of 8.3 to 8.5, suggesting that the BOCES school may have more resources and support for its students. Additionally, Fort Edward School serves a much higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 49.09% to 56.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the state average of around 50%. Addressing the needs of this population, both academically and socially, will be crucial for the school's success.
