Summary

Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Anchorage, Alaska, with an enrollment of 399 students. The school is part of the Anchorage School District, which is ranked 14 out of 24 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the additional resources the school receives, with per-student spending higher than the district average and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio, Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Alaska, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school's performance for female, male, Asian, and English Language Learner students is also among the lowest in the state, while its performance for African American students is an exception, ranking 3rd out of 3 Alaska elementary schools in 2018-2019.

When compared to nearby schools like Orion Elementary, Government Hill Elementary, and Chugach Optional Elementary, Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower, with proficiency rates often 2-3 times higher at these neighboring schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Dr. Etheldra Davis - Fairview Elementary may be more pronounced due to the concentrated poverty and associated risk factors within its student population, which has an extremely high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
