Summary:
The 14733 zip code in New York is home to two schools, Falconer Middle/High School and Harvey C Fenner Elementary School, both part of the Falconer Central School District. While the district is ranked 640 out of 866 in New York and has a 1-star rating, the schools themselves do not stand out as high-performing, with relatively low academic metrics compared to state averages.
Falconer Middle/High School serves 630 students in grades 6-12, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (92.06%). The school's 4-year graduation rate is 93.3%, but its dropout rate is 6.6%, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 25%. Academically, the school struggles, with ELA proficiency ranging from 27.5% to 50% and math proficiency ranging from 16.67% to 42.11% across different grade levels. The school's Regents exam proficiency rates are also mixed, with some subjects performing better than others.
Harvey C Fenner Elementary School, serving 235 students in grades 3-5, also has a predominantly White student population (91.06%). The school's academic performance is similarly low, with ELA proficiency ranging from 17.57% to 22.73% and math proficiency ranging from 34.25% to 53.85% across different grade levels. Both schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, and the spending per student is relatively high, these factors do not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes for the students.
