Summary:
Fairview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Covington, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 552 students. The school is part of the Newton County School District, which is ranked 157 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Fairview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a ranking of 1033 out of 1248 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past several years, with its ranking fluctuating between the 800s and 1100s. Fairview Elementary's proficiency rates in the Milestones Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the Newton County and Georgia state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 19% of 3rd graders, 23.9% of 4th graders, and 26.9% of 5th graders at Fairview Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Newton County averages of 23.6%, 26.4%, and 36.3%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is also concerning, with only 18% of 3rd graders, 31.8% of 4th graders, and 12.9% of 5th graders achieving proficiency, compared to the Newton County averages of 25.2%, 27.2%, and 23.4%.
Fairview Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.64% in 2020-2021 to 84.96% in 2022-2023, indicating that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. The nearby schools, such as Newton County Theme School at Ficquett, Middle Ridge Elementary, and Livingston Elementary, generally perform better than Fairview Elementary on the Milestones Assessments, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This suggests that Fairview Elementary is struggling to keep up with the academic standards set at the district and state levels, and may need a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support systems to address the underlying factors contributing to the lack of academic progress.
