Fairview High School

Summary:

Fairview High School is a small public high school in Fairview, Montana, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 116. The school has a predominantly White student body and is part of the Fairview High School District, which is ranked 98 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Academically, Fairview High School has performed above the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency, with 40.63% and 51.61% of students meeting or exceeding standards, respectively, in the 2022-2023 school year. However, the school's science proficiency rate of 28.13% was lower than the state average of 37.03%. Fairview High School maintains a relatively strong statewide ranking, placing 41 out of 124 high schools in Montana and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 students per teacher is a notable advantage compared to the nearby Sidney High School, which has a ratio of 14 students per teacher.

While Fairview High School has shown academic strengths in some areas, its performance has fluctuated over the years, and it has faced challenges in maintaining consistent achievement, particularly in science proficiency. When compared to Sidney High School, Fairview has lower proficiency rates in reading and science, suggesting room for improvement. Additionally, the school's lack of racial diversity, with 85.34% of students identifying as White, may be a concern, as research has shown the benefits of diverse school environments for student learning and development.

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.
