The school has a predominantly white student population, with test scores showing mixed performance compared to the Raleigh County Schools district and the state of West Virginia.

Fairdale Elementary School's 3rd and 4th grade math proficiency rates are below the district and state averages, while their 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are above the district and state averages. However, the school's 5th grade math and ELA proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state. The school's spending per student is $10,042, which is higher than the national average, but its statewide ranking has declined from the 2022-2023 school year to the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a potential decline in overall school performance.

The lack of diversity in Fairdale Elementary School's student population, with over 96% of students identifying as white, may be an area of concern and could impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Additionally, the inconsistency in academic achievement across grade levels is an area that the school and district may need to address to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
