Elementary Schools in Fairfield City

The Fairfield City school district in Alabama is home to two elementary schools: Glen Oaks Elementary School and Robinson Primary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, but their academic performance is consistently below the state average.

According to the data, neither Glen Oaks Elementary nor Robinson Primary are standout schools in the Fairfield City district. Glen Oaks Elementary is ranked 593 out of 680 Alabama elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Robinson Primary is ranked 627 out of 687 and has a 0-star rating. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts compared to the state averages. Additionally, they both struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 14% for the 2023-2024 school year.

The data also reveals that the student populations at these schools face significant socioeconomic challenges, with free and reduced lunch rates of 69.89% at Glen Oaks Elementary and 89.11% at Robinson Primary. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at these schools, the poor academic outcomes suggest that the resources are not being effectively utilized to improve student learning and achievement. Addressing the systemic challenges facing the Fairfield City elementary schools will require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors to support student success.
