Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Texarkana, Arkansas, serving 236 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Texarkana School District, which is ranked 184 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 11.3 to 16.1, Fairview Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 22.9% of Fairview students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23.6% for the district and 34.7% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also been declining, dropping from 180 out of 466 in 2014-2015 to 357 out of 495 in 2024-2025, earning it a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This performance is significantly lower than nearby magnet schools like Edward D. Trice Elementary, College Hill Harmony Leadership Academy, and North Heights Community School.

The high poverty rate, with 100% of Fairview students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's poor performance. However, when compared to schools outside the Texarkana School District, such as Ashdown Elementary and Fouke Elementary, Fairview's performance is still below average, though the gap is not as significant as with the nearby magnet schools. The declining performance of Fairview Elementary suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.
