Summary

Harvey C Fenner Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Falconer, NY, part of the Falconer Central School District. With 250 students, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, receiving 1-2 stars from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years.

The school's test scores are consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 54.24% compared to the state average of 54.15%, and its 3rd grade Math proficiency rate was 69.49% compared to the state average of 59.7%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with proficiency rates dropping from the high 30s and 40s in the earlier years to the low 20s and 30s in more recent years. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby Bemus Point Elementary School, which is about 10 miles away, ranked 719 out of 2,445 New York elementary schools in 2024-2025, compared to Harvey C Fenner's rank of 1,733. The nearby schools also have lower percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a lower proportion of low-socioeconomic status students. Despite increased spending and improved student-teacher ratios, Harvey C Fenner Elementary School's declining performance over time suggests the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning.
