For 2025–26, HF-L High School is ranked #3 in the Rochester Metro Area, #72 out of more than 1,200 high schools in New York State, and #691 out of nearly 18,000 in the nation. The school also earned recognition as #226 among STEM High Schools nationwide. HF-L received an overall score of 96.14/100.“These results reflect the pride that the HF-L community has in both education and children,” said Superintendent Gene Mancuso. “The district uses data to inform instructional decisions and is just the right size to really get to know its students and help them explore the possibilities that await them. We truly believe in a growth mindset and continuous improvement, and we trust the processes we have in place to support every student, every day.”
