Fairview Elementary is a public elementary school in Fairfax Station, Virginia, serving 736 students in grades PK-6. As part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, Fairview Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Virginia elementary schools and outperforms state and county averages on standardized assessments.

Fairview Elementary's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels and student subgroups. The school's students perform significantly better than their peers in Little Run Elementary, Willow Springs Elementary, and other nearby schools on SOL (Standards of Learning) assessments in Mathematics, Science, and English Reading. Notably, Fairview's Hispanic and multi-racial student subgroups rank among the top 10% and 25% of Virginia elementary schools, respectively.

While Fairview Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio (16.7) compared to nearby schools, it spends a similar amount per student ($9,340 in 2020-2021) as the other schools in the area.

Additionally, Fairview has a significantly lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (7.61% to 7.78%) than the surrounding schools, which range from 12.56% to 26.2%. This demographic profile may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, as research suggests that socioeconomic factors can influence student outcomes.

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.
