Fairview Middle School

Summary:

Fairview Middle School is a public middle school located in Fairview, West Virginia, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is part of the Marion County Schools district, which is ranked 9th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairview Middle School consistently ranks among the top 10-20 middle schools in West Virginia, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Fairview Middle School's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 58.6%, compared to 42.5% for the Marion County Schools district and 39.1% for the state of West Virginia. Fairview Middle School also outperforms the state and district in Science proficiency, with 5th-grade and 8th-grade Science proficiency rates exceeding the state and district averages.

Fairview Middle School's strong performance extends to diverse student populations, with the school's female students, male students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds ranking among the top middle schools in West Virginia. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, in contrast to some of the more diverse nearby schools, such as West Fairmont Middle School and East Fairmont Middle School. This raises questions about the school's ability to provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment, which can be an important factor in preparing students for success in an increasingly diverse society.

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.
