Summary

Fairview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Maryville, Tennessee, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 305. The school is part of the Blount County school district, which is ranked 59 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairview Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30-35% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally higher than the Blount County and Tennessee state averages, particularly in 5th grade. Fairview Elementary's female students and special education students perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20-25% of Tennessee elementary schools in these subgroups. However, the school has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 15.8% to 20.2% in recent years, which is higher than the state average.

The school's per-student spending has increased from $10,670 in 2020-2021 to $13,557 in 2023-2024, indicating a focus on investing in student resources. Fairview Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 15.2 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools. While Fairview generally outperforms the nearby Blount County schools in academic proficiency, some nearby schools, such as Carpenters Elementary and John Sevier Elementary (in the Maryville district), have even stronger academic performance, suggesting that Fairview could learn from their best practices.
