Fairview Public School District

The Fairview Public School District in New Jersey consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Number Three School and Lincoln School Annex) and 1 middle school (Lincoln School). The district serves a predominantly Hispanic student population, with the schools ranging from 88% to 92% Hispanic enrollment.

Among the district's schools, Lincoln School stands out as the highest-performing, with the best proficiency rates on the NJSLA exams, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Lincoln School Annex has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 86.39%, indicating a high-need student population, and also the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the district at 43.8%.

Overall, the Fairview Public School District faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates on the NJSLA exams well below state averages across the board. The data suggests a correlation between poverty and academic performance, as the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch also have the lowest proficiency rates. Addressing chronic absenteeism and the disparities within the district will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students in Fairview.
