Little Falls High School

What Little Falls High School does

Little Falls High School is one of three schools comprising the Little Falls City School District, a public K-12 school district organized under New York State Education Law and headquartered at 15 Petrie Street in Little Falls, New York. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade across Benton Hall Academy (K-4), Little Falls Middle School (5-8), and Little Falls High School (9-12). Its core operations encompass academic instruction, college preparation (including SAT/ACT prep, financial aid assistance, NCAA eligibility support, and scholarship resources), and an athletics program with 24 active teams spanning football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, track and field, field hockey, tennis, baseball, softball, bowling, and esports.

The district operates a unified technology platform centered on a one-to-one student-to-device program supported by UpMobility grant funding and managed by Trusted Technologies LLC. Core technology infrastructure includes a STEAM lab featuring robotics, 3D printing, virtual reality, drone operation, and PC building, plus a scaffolded technology curriculum spanning Foundations of Technology through AP Computer Science Principles, web design, podcast production, and graphic design. Administrative and instructional systems include SchoolTool (student information), ParentSquare (district-wide communication replacing SchoolMessenger), Google Classroom, IXL (math/ELA practice), TurnItIn, NoodleTools, Sora (e-books/audiobooks), MySchoolBucks (meal payments), ArbiterSports (athletics registration), and OPALS (library automation). Library services integrate SEARCH for Success single-login access across district and New York State databases.

As a government state entity, Little Falls City School District is publicly funded through local property taxes, New York state aid, and federal grants rather than commercial revenue. The food service program operates under the federal Community Eligibility Provision, providing free breakfast and lunch to all students with second meals ($2.00 breakfast, $3.00 lunch) and a la carte items monetized through MySchoolBucks. The district participates in the Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES regional consortium for shared services and partners with the Oneida-Herkimer School Library System for library automation. Enrollment is determined by residence within district boundaries, with registration handled through the Central Registrar office.
