Summary

Fairley School is an elementary school located in Hannibal, NY, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 490 students. The school is part of the Hannibal Central School District, which is ranked 810 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairley School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1636 and 2403 out of around 2,400 schools. Its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25.64% of 3rd graders and 23.29% of 4th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 54.15% and 54.07%, respectively. The math proficiency rates were similarly low, with only 23.08% of 3rd graders and 16.22% of 4th graders meeting proficiency standards, compared to the state averages of 59.7% and 58.64%.

The nearby Cato-Meridian Elementary School and Minetto Elementary School (part of the Oswego City School District) both have higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings than Fairley School. The high percentage of students from low-income families and the relatively high spending per student at Fairley School suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's poor academic performance.
