Fairview Public School District

The Fairview Public School District in New Jersey operates 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Number Three School and Lincoln School Annex) and 1 middle school (Lincoln School). The district appears to be facing significant challenges, with all 3 schools performing well below state averages on key metrics like standardized test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.

The schools in the Fairview Public School District have consistently low proficiency rates on the NJSLA assessments, with only 14.9% of 3rd graders at Number Three School being proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 43.6%. Math proficiency rates are also very low, ranging from 15.4% to 20.7% across the 3 schools. Additionally, all 3 schools have high chronic absenteeism rates around 16.6%, which is quite high compared to state standards.

The district also serves a predominantly low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 78.3% at Number Three School to 86.39% at Lincoln School Annex. This high level of economic disadvantage likely contributes to the academic struggles observed. The relatively low per-student spending and high student-teacher ratios in the district may also be hindering efforts to improve student outcomes.
