Summary

Falconer Middle/High School is a public school serving 629 students in grades 6-12 in Falconer, New York, which is part of the Falconer Central School District. While the school has some strengths, such as better-than-average performance on Regents exams, it faces challenges in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and equity compared to nearby higher-performing schools.

Falconer Middle/High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 322 and 586 out of over 1,200 high schools in New York over the past 10 years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 16-50% in English Language Arts and 17-45% in Math across grades 6-8. However, the school performs better on Regents exams, with proficiency rates above the state average in several subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Global History. The school's 4-year graduation rate is around 84-88%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is 4.5-6.5%, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools such as Chautauqua Lake Secondary School, Panama High School, and Randolph Senior High School, Falconer Middle/High School generally underperforms on academic measures. These nearby schools tend to have higher proficiency rates, graduation rates, and statewide rankings, as well as lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students and higher spending per student. While Falconer Middle/High School's strengths lie in its Regents exam performance, the school will need to address its weaknesses in state assessment proficiency and dropout rates to improve overall student outcomes.
