Fairview Elementary School

Summary:

Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Bloomington, Indiana, with 301 students enrolled in the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Monroe County Community School Corporation, which is ranked 100 out of 381 districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating.

Fairview Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (20.27%), Hispanic (15.61%), and students of two or more races (14.62%) compared to nearby schools. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments, with only 34.7% of Fairview students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 38.36% proficient in math, compared to 48.32% and 51.88% for the district, respectively. Fairview also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 38.2% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to 9.1% at Childs Elementary and 10.6% at The Bloomington Project School.

The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the 84.39% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism at Fairview Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic achievement. While Fairview receives significant resources, with high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of the school's programs and practices. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach focused on supporting the unique needs of Fairview's student population.

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.
