Summary:
The 67583 zip code is home to a single alternative public school, Fairfield Schools, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 285 students. While Fairfield Schools has some areas of academic strength, such as strong 5th grade English Language Arts performance, the school's overall test scores are generally lower than the state averages in Kansas across various grade levels and subject areas.
Fairfield Schools has a high percentage of students (58.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,768, which is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student support and individualized attention.
The inconsistent academic performance and the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest the need for a comprehensive review of Fairfield Schools' practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student success. While the school has access to significant financial resources, it will be important to ensure that these funds are being directed towards evidence-based practices and initiatives that directly address the specific needs of its student population.
