Falconer Central School District

The Falconer Central School District in New York serves students from three schools: two elementary schools (Paul B D Temple Elementary School and Harvey C Fenner Elementary School) and one middle/high school (Falconer Middle/High School). The district serves a predominantly white student population, with a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students, particularly at Harvey C Fenner Elementary School.

The standout school in the district is Falconer Middle/High School, which has the highest overall enrollment and a relatively high 4-year graduation rate. However, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. In contrast, the elementary schools, especially Harvey C Fenner Elementary School, generally perform below the district and state averages on state assessments. This may be due to the higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Harvey C Fenner Elementary School, which could contribute to the lower academic performance observed.

The Falconer Central School District as a whole is ranked 640 out of 866 school districts in New York and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The district's financial metrics, such as per-student spending, are relatively consistent across the schools. However, the Falconer Middle/High School's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, and the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be contributing factors to its declining performance. Addressing these challenges could help the district improve the educational outcomes for all its students.
