This school has seen a lot of change in the last 4 years. I believe it never really recovered from the difficulties that stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been constant change and very little consistency which makes it hard to have a "normal" high school experience. Furthermore, changes made and decisions enacted were done so in a poor manner.

Glens Falls was a small school with tight knit groups ranging from various interests. Many of the students are there to support one another, and lend a hand to their community. The overall educational experience at Glens Falls lacked expertise in teaching and understanding of students backgrounds. Though many alumni of Glens Falls hold it dear to their heart given the small community feeling.
