Jackson Heights School

Summary:

Jackson Heights School is an elementary school located in Glens Falls, New York, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 251 students. The school is part of the Glens Falls City School District, which is ranked 464 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jackson Heights School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency rates for grades 3 and 4. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 39.53%, compared to the district's 42.86% and the state's 42.6%. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, particularly female students and students with special needs, who rank significantly lower than their peers. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.94% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

In contrast, the nearby Kensington Road School, also part of the Glens Falls City School District, consistently outperforms Jackson Heights School in academic proficiency, with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at 61.82% and 4th-grade ELA proficiency at 74.58% in the 2023-2024 school year. Kensington Road School also has a lower percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (21.79% free/reduced-price lunch) compared to Jackson Heights School. These findings suggest that while Jackson Heights School faces significant challenges, the school's focus on smaller class sizes and potential for targeted interventions could present opportunities for improvement if leveraged effectively.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
