Summary

Fairview Pk-8 is an elementary school located in Denver, Colorado, serving grades PK-7 with 364 students. It is part of the Westminster Public Schools district, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Fairview Pk-8 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Colorado elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating as well.

Fairview Pk-8 faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.7% to 36.0% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. The school's academic performance is also concerning, with only 6.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 8.7% in Math, compared to 22.8% and 15.1% for the district, and 44.8% and 35.9% for the state, respectively. Additionally, Fairview Pk-8 has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.38% to 90.11% in recent years, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, the data shows that Fairview Pk-8 performs significantly worse than many of the nearby schools, such as Westminster Academy for International Studies and Colorado STEM Academy, which are also part of the Westminster Public Schools district. These schools have much higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The data suggests that Fairview Pk-8 could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to its poor performance.
