Best Public Schools in Fairlawn, VA

Summary:

The city of Fairlawn, Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Riverlawn Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 382 students. Riverlawn Elementary is part of the Pulaski County Public Schools district, which is ranked 68 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Riverlawn Elementary appears to be a relatively average-performing school within its district and the state of Virginia. While the school has some areas of strength, such as 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rates that exceed both district and state averages, it also has areas where it lags behind, particularly in 5th grade Mathematics and Science. The school's high percentage of students (78.27%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, and its per-student spending of $8,586 is relatively low compared to state and national averages.

Despite these challenges, Riverlawn Elementary has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, and its student-teacher ratio of 12:1 suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, with notable percentages of Hispanic, African American, and Asian students, is a strength that could be leveraged to provide a rich and inclusive learning environment.
