Fairview Elementary School

Summary:

Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Camden, Arkansas, serving 591 students in grades K-3. The school is part of the Camden Fairview School District, which is ranked 240 out of 252 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating.

Fairview Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in ATLAS/English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the state averages across all grades. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 21.3% in ELA, 21.2% in Reading, 13% in Mathematics, and 11.6% in Science, compared to the state averages of 33.8%, 34.1%, 36.4%, and 35.6%, respectively. The school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates, often used as a benchmark, are also lower than the state averages in all subjects. Additionally, Fairview Elementary's performance on the ACT Aspire assessments in 2022-2023 was significantly below the state averages in English, Math, Science, and Reading. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.17% to 100% over the past three school years, suggests a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Fairview Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower than Bearden Elementary School and Smackover Elementary School, which are both in different school districts and have higher proficiency rates in all subject areas and across all grade levels. Harmony Grove Elementary School, which is in a different district, also significantly outperforms Fairview Elementary in academic achievement, with proficiency rates well above the state averages. While Fairview Elementary's spending per student is higher than the nearby schools, the academic performance remains significantly lower, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
