Honeoye Falls-lima Senior High School, Honeoye Falls NY

Original Research by School Decision on Honeoye Falls-lima Senior High School

Honeoye Falls-Lima Senior High School serves about four grades of students in a small, historic village southeast of Rochester in Monroe County. The school sits on East Street in the village center, part of a district whose four schools occupy separate sites across two towns rather than a unified campus.

The student body is predominantly white, with a small share of Hispanic students and smaller numbers of Asian, multiracial, and Black students. About a fifth of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. No state testing data, graduation rate, or chronic absenteeism data was available for this school; data on special education and English learner enrollment were also missing. The district comparison set covering Monroe County's 37 districts cannot be applied here because proficiency, graduation, and attendance figures were not supplied. A parent seeking academic outcome data would need to contact the school directly or review any publicly reported results on the district website.

The village itself is a walkable, architecturally intact town anchored by a waterfall on Honeoye Creek running through the downtown. Civic life centers on Harry Allen Park and the Mendon Public Library; residents have access to a handful of nearby restaurants and shops and tree-shaded residential streets lined with 19th-century homes. The school district spans six towns: Honeoye Falls (where the high school, middle school, and an intermediate school sit), Lima, Avon, Livonia, Henrietta, Rush, Richmond, and West Bloomfield. The village itself is built out; new residential growth is occurring mainly in the surrounding Town of Mendon in subdivisions marketed to families drawn by the school district's reputation.

The housing market is active. Homes in Honeoye Falls in the mid range sell in the low hundreds of thousands; higher-end homes and vacant lots marketed for custom construction command substantially more. The median home value in the school's zip code reflects recent appreciation, and the rental-to-income ratio suggests homeownership is stretched for median-income households, though affordability varies by lot and building type. The area's unemployment is modest and median household income is solid.

Property taxes have grown in recent years, and voters have approved successive budgets with year-over-year increases. The district is currently executing a multi-year capital project that began in 2022, covering network upgrades, security enhancements, kitchen equipment replacement, and masonry restoration across all buildings. That work will be ongoing through the 2025-2026 school year, so families considering the district should expect active construction and renovation in and around school buildings.

Without state assessment results or graduation data in the record, a prospective family cannot compare this school's academic standing directly to other Monroe County high schools on standardized measures. Families may want to reach out to the school or district to ask about course offerings, testing results, post-secondary pathways, and any other academic metrics the school tracks and reports locally.

Graduation rate (ACGR)

>=95%Cohort of 166 students · Class of 2021

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

1,253 schools plotted. 14 additional schools' rates are federally suppressed and not shown. Data: EDFacts SY 2020-21.

Advanced Placement & IB

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
