Fairview School

Summary:

Fairview School is an alternative public school in Fairview, Michigan, serving grades PK-12 with 298 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with over 98% of students identifying as white, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 70% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Fairview School has faced some challenges, including fluctuating graduation rates ranging from 72.2% to 89.6%, relatively high dropout rates up to 27.7%, and chronic absenteeism rates as high as 22.9%. The school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with strengths in some areas but struggles in others, particularly in mathematics. In comparison, the nearby Atlanta Community Schools have higher graduation rates, lower dropout rates, and generally stronger academic performance, despite also serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The lack of racial diversity at Fairview School, in contrast to the more diverse student population at Atlanta Community Schools, and the school's challenges in supporting consistent educational outcomes for its students suggest that Fairview may need to closely examine its practices and strategies to better support the academic and social-emotional needs of its diverse learners.

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.
