Summary

Fairview Elementary is a public elementary school in Bakersfield, California, serving 570 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Greenfield Union School District, which is ranked 960 out of 1565 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairview Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of California elementary schools, typically between 3,000-4,500 out of around 5,800 schools. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is generally below the Greenfield Union district and California state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Fairview Elementary's proficiency rates were 36.4% in English Language Arts and 26.24% in Math, compared to the district's 42.8% and 28.21%, and the state's 48.81% and 37.3%, respectively. Additionally, Fairview Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 24.9% in recent years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

While Fairview Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby Prosperity Elementary, Horizon Elementary, and W.A. Kendrick Elementary, it performs better than some other nearby schools, such as Planz Elementary and Crescent Elementary, which have even lower academic outcomes. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Fairview Elementary may be a significant factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can have a substantial impact on educational outcomes.
