Fairlawn Elementary School

Summary:

Fairlawn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Evansville, Indiana, serving 422 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, which is ranked 242 out of 381 school districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairlawn Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, and students of two or more races. However, the school's academic performance is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 9.59% of Fairlawn students were proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts, compared to 37.25% for the district and 38.6% for the state in 3rd grade. Fairlawn also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.1% to 24.3% over the past three school years, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

Fairlawn's academic struggles are likely compounded by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.4% to 76.07% over the past three school years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Fairlawn, ranging from $8,799 to $10,825 over the past four school years, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Vogel Elementary School, have significantly outperformed Fairlawn in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels.

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.
