Fairview Intermediate

Summary:

Fairview Intermediate is a public middle school located in Jennings, Missouri, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 125 students. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

Fairview Intermediate has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 46.0% to 49.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's students also perform significantly below the state and Jennings district averages in all tested subjects, with only 6.3% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 16.1% in the district and 44.4% statewide. Additionally, Fairview Intermediate has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.69% to 100%, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

The challenges faced by Fairview Intermediate are not isolated but rather a systemic problem within the Jennings school district. The nearby schools, such as Kenneth C. Hanrahan Elementary and Rose Johnson Jennings Junior High, also exhibit similar issues with high chronic absenteeism rates and low academic performance. This suggests that the underlying factors, such as the high concentration of economically disadvantaged students and the lower per-student spending, may be contributing to the challenges faced by these schools.

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.
