Summary

Kensington Road School is an elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Glens Falls City School District in New York, with 280 students. The school has consistently ranked among the top 20% of elementary schools in New York, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Kensington Road School significantly outperforms the Glens Falls City School District and the state of New York in academic proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 86.67% of 3rd graders and 78.95% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 59.86% and 60.45% for the district, and 54.15% and 54.07% for the state. Similarly, in math, 77.78% of 3rd graders and 77.19% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to 55.94% and 61.94% for the district, and 59.7% and 58.64% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong for male students, ranking 221st out of 2,407 New York elementary schools, but its performance for special education students is an area of concern, ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools.

Compared to other elementary schools in the Glens Falls City School District, such as Big Cross Street School and Jackson Heights School, which rank in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools, Kensington Road School is a high-performing outlier. This may be partly attributable to its relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.31% to 22.86% in recent years, compared to the higher rates at nearby schools.
