Fairview Elementary consistently outperforms the Bonneville Joint District and the state of Idaho in academic assessments, with 65.4% of students proficient or better in ISAT/Math and 73.2% proficient or better in ISAT/English Language Arts, compared to the district's 41.6% and 53.6% and the state's 42.2% and 53.3%, respectively. The school has been ranked among the top 20% of elementary schools in Idaho, placing 20th out of 252 in the 2022-2023 school year and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Fairview Elementary has seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 24.0% in 2021-2022 to 15.9% in 2022-2023, the rate is still higher than the state's average. This is an area the school may want to focus on, as chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Overall, Fairview Elementary School stands out as a high-performing elementary school in the Bonneville Joint District, with a strong track record of academic excellence and statewide recognition, but also presents opportunities for improving its demographic diversity and addressing chronic absenteeism.

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.
