Summary:

Fairview J H is a public middle school located in Alvin, Texas, serving 864 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Alvin Independent School District. The school faces a unique set of challenges, including a diverse student population, academic performance that lags behind nearby schools and state averages, and socioeconomic factors that may impact student learning.

Fairview J H has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (56.13%) compared to the state average, as well as significant White (35.76%), African American (2.08%), and Asian (3.82%) student populations. Academically, the school has shown mixed results, with stronger performance in reading proficiency but lower proficiency in mathematics and social studies compared to the district and state. For example, Fairview J H's 8th-grade social studies proficiency rate was 33.09%, compared to the district's 31.38% and the state's 30.55%.

Fairview J H's academic performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Manvel J H, Alvin J H, and Jackie Doucet Caffey J H, which are also part of the Alvin Independent School District.

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.
