Summary

Fairview Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 591 students in the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, located in a community where a high percentage of families face economic challenges.

Academically, the school faces significant difficulties, with test scores in English, math, and science far below both district and state averages; notably, fewer than 5% of students met science standards. The school's statewide ranking has declined steadily over the past decade, placing it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in California. Chronic student absenteeism, while improving from previous years, remains high at 30.8%, which is closely linked to academic struggles.

When compared to nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Cleo Gordon Elementary and Weir Preparatory Academy, Fairview's academic results are notably lower, suggesting school-level factors are at play. Interestingly, the Virtual Academy of Fairfield-Suisun, located in the same district, achieves much stronger results. Fairview spends more per student than some higher-performing neighboring schools, indicating a need to examine how resources are used to support student learning and attendance.
