Summary

Fairview Elementary enrolls 552 students in grades K–5 in Bakersfield, in the Greenfield Union area. Its results are mixed: it does better than some nearby schools, but its all-grade scores remain below the state in ELA, math, and science. The most important concern is math, where Fairview’s 24% proficiency rate was 14 percentage points below the state.

Compared with nearby K–5 schools, Fairview ranked sixth of nine in ELA, fourth in math, and sixth in science. Its ELA rate was 39%, compared with 49% statewide and 44% in the district; math was 24%, versus 38% statewide and 27% in the district. Science was a relative bright spot: 31% was about 1 point above the district’s 30%, though 5 points below the state’s 36%. There are also important differences by grade: fifth-grade ELA reached 51%, above both the state’s 49% and the district’s 46%, and was the third-highest result among nearby schools. Fourth-grade math was just 20%, compared with 42% statewide and 27% in the district. Nearby W. A. Kendrick Elementary posted much higher all-grade results: 68% in ELA, 54% in math, and 42% in science.

Over four reported years, ELA improved by 10 percentage points and science by 10, while math rose only 3 points overall and fell from 26% in 2024–2025 to 24% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger gave Fairview a 2025–2026 percentile of 35 and 2 stars; it ranked sixth of nine nearby schools with a reported rank. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 50, compared with 35 overall. The English Language Learner Students percentile fell from 36 in 2022–2023 to 14 in 2023–2024, a notable drop in that group’s relative standing; no later ELL ranking is provided. Fairview’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.9, around the middle of the nearby range. It reported 97% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, an eligibility measure rather than a measure of meals received.
