Summary:

Fairview Pk-8 is an elementary school in Denver, Colorado that serves 333 students in grades PK-7. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 79.58% Hispanic students in the 2022-2023 school year.

Fairview Pk-8 consistently performs below the district and state averages on academic assessments, with only 11.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 8.9% proficient or better in Math, compared to 22.8% and 15.7% for the Westminster Public Schools district, and 44.1% and 34.2% for the state. The school ranks in the bottom 3.6% of Colorado elementary schools, and has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.38% to 84.81% over the past three years. However, Fairview Pk-8 has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Fairview Pk-8 performs significantly worse, with schools like Colorado STEM Academy outperforming it by a wide margin on assessments. The racial and socioeconomic makeup of Fairview Pk-8 also differs from nearby schools, with a much higher percentage of Hispanic and low-income students. These factors, along with the school's overall ranking and academic struggles, suggest that Fairview Pk-8 faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

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.
