Fairlands Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in California, with students performing exceptionally well on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, 71.68% of Fairlands students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 48.81% statewide, and 78.98% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 37.3% statewide.

Additionally, Fairlands has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 6.8% in 2021-2022 to 20.4% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern for the school.
