Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Texarkana, AR, serving 246 students within the Texarkana School District, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a community with extremely high economic need.

Fairview spends significantly more per student than many nearby schools—$16,957 per student in 2023-2024, which is 53% higher than the high-performing Genoa Central Elementary School ($10,459) and 63% higher than Ashdown Elementary School ($11,048)—yet its academic results lag behind. For example, Genoa Central achieves proficiency rates nearly double Fairview’s in math (72.6% vs. 27.5%) and science (62.7% vs. 34.7%). A striking comparison exists within the same district: North Heights Community School, just 1.4 miles away and serving a similarly high-poverty population, outperforms Fairview in every subject, with 56.4% proficient in math versus Fairview’s 27.5%. This shows that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance, and Fairview has room to learn from North Heights’ success.

A unique challenge at Fairview is a "V-shaped" performance dip in 4th grade, where proficiency drops sharply across all subjects—for instance, English Language Arts falls from 34.1% in 3rd grade to 20.9% in 4th, then rebounds to 40% in 5th grade. This pattern is not seen at nearby schools like Edward D. Trice Elementary School, suggesting a specific issue with 4th-grade instruction or curriculum that needs targeted intervention. While Fairview has improved from its lowest ranking in 2016-2017 (9th percentile) to the 26th percentile in 2025-2026, recent backsliding from a peak of the 33rd percentile in 2021-2022 is a concern. The Texarkana School District overall ranks in the bottom 20% of Arkansas districts, but the presence of a high-performing school like North Heights within the same district shows that excellence is possible, and Fairview can aim higher.
