Fairview Elementary

Summary:

Fairview Elementary is a public elementary school in High Point, North Carolina, serving students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Guilford County Schools district. With a diverse student population, Fairview Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools.

Fairview Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the Guilford County Schools and North Carolina state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 43.8% of 3rd-grade students at Fairview Elementary were proficient or better in reading, compared to 44.8% in Guilford County and 48.7% statewide. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Archdale Elementary School and Triangle Lake Montessori Elementary, Fairview Elementary has a more racially diverse student population but significantly lower academic performance. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 75.5% of 3rd-grade students at Triangle Lake Montessori were proficient or better in math, compared to only 72.6% at Fairview Elementary. Despite Fairview Elementary's higher per-student spending, these academic disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the learning experiences and achievements of the students at the school.

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.
