Scanning file into an array of structures in C

My program isn't reading past the first line of my file. I have the file 

John 22 67 
Rickard 31 100 
Andrew 21 34 
Sarah 20 80

Attempting to read with:

void loadPeople(char fileName[],Person people[],int * length){
  FILE *fptr = fopen("fileName", "r");
  int i;
  for(i=0; i<N; i++){
    fscanf(fptr, "%s", people[i].name);
    fscanf(fptr, "%d", &people[i].age);
    fscanf(fptr, "%lf", &people[i].score);
    fclose(fptr);
  }
  return;
}

The program is only reading the first line of the file into person[0] and not beyond.

You are closing the file after reading the first record. Move fclose() out of the loop.

You should also check that the file was opened successfully, by checking that fptr is not NULL before looping through the file.
