Fairforest Middle faces several challenges, including a 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from low-income households. The school's enrollment has also decreased from 1,054 students in the 2022-2023 school year to 1,054 students in the 2023-2024 school year. When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as L.E. Gable Middle and R.P. Dawkins Middle, Fairforest Middle generally underperforms academically. To address these issues, the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
