Fairfield Schools

Summary:

Fairfield Schools is an alternative public school located in Langdon, Kansas, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 285 students. Based on the data provided, this school appears to be underperforming compared to the state average in Kansas across various academic metrics.

Fairfield Schools consistently scores below the state average in Kansas across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 22.41% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 16.23% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 33.55% and 31.6%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.41% to 58.6% over the past three school years, suggesting a student population with higher socioeconomic needs. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 12 students per teacher, and spends more per student ($15,768 in 2018-2019) than the state average.

The analysis of Fairfield Schools' data reveals several areas of concern, including inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas, as well as a declining trend in test scores over the past few years. To address these challenges, the school may need to conduct a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, curriculum alignment, and student support systems, with the goal of improving student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
