Fairfield Intermediate

Summary:

Fairfield Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Fairfield Independent School District in Fairfield, Texas. The school has a student population of 373 and a diverse racial makeup, with a predominantly White student body (51.74%) followed by Hispanic (27.61%) and African American (13.94%) students.

While Fairfield Intermediate has been consistently rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its student performance on STAAR tests is generally below the state average, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, the percentage of 3rd and 5th-grade students proficient or better in STAAR Reading and Mathematics is lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (66.76%), which may contribute to its academic challenges. Fairfield Intermediate's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students.

Interestingly, Fairfield Intermediate's Gifted and Talented program has shown exceptional performance, ranking in the top 5% of Texas elementary schools in this area. However, the school's overall ranking has declined over the past several years, suggesting that it may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance. Compared to nearby schools like Fairfield Elementary, Buffalo Elementary, and Cayuga Elementary, Fairfield Intermediate's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher student performance and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

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.

Open Quote Not a kid friendly school. Students are not allowed to talk in between classes at their lockers, in the mornings, or during the majority of lunch. Recess is 20 min. on paper only, poor scheduling has one class starting at the same time that the last one ended. Students do not want parents to contact teachers with questions because they fear repercussions, being fun of or comments being made about content of the conversation. Lots of tests given, actual tests are never sent home so parents can not go over the test with their kid. They only get to see a scratch paper with the grade at the top. Close Quote

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.
