Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary School

Summary:

Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Anchorage, Alaska, with a diverse student population that includes a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, it has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Alaska, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, male students, Asian students, English Language Learners, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with rankings in the bottom 10-15% of Alaska elementary schools for these subgroups. This suggests that the school may not be effectively addressing the unique needs of its most vulnerable student populations.

In contrast, nearby schools such as William Tyson Elementary, Alaska Native Cultural Charter School, and Orion Elementary have significantly higher academic performance and statewide rankings, despite serving similar student populations. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary School to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools within the Anchorage School District.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
