Best Public Schools in Fairview, NC

Summary:

The city of Fairview, North Carolina is home to a single standout elementary school, Fairview Elementary. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking of 213 out of 1,505 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years.

Fairview Elementary's academic performance is impressive, with students scoring significantly higher than the Buncombe County and North Carolina averages on end-of-grade (EOG) tests in mathematics, reading, and science. The school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (40.67%), suggesting a relatively affluent student population. With a student enrollment of 659 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 1, Fairview Elementary appears to have the resources and staffing to provide a high-quality education to its students.

While Fairview Elementary is a standout school in the Fairview area, the school's demographic composition, with a majority White student population, may raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the community. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending ($10,427 in the 2018-2019 school year) suggests that the school has access to significant resources, which may not be the case for all schools in the Buncombe County district. As such, there may be opportunities to further enhance the school's performance and ensure that all students in the Fairview area have access to a quality education.
