Summary

Fairmont Elementary is a top-performing K-6 public school serving 794 students in Yorba Linda, part of the highly-regarded Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified school district, and it consistently ranks in the top 5% of all California elementary schools.

The school excels academically, with over 81% of students proficient in English and over 75% proficient in math, significantly outperforming both district and state averages. What makes Fairmont Elementary particularly impressive is its success with all students, as those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and Hispanic students score in the 98th and 99th percentiles statewide, respectively. The school also boasts exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 6.4%, less than half the district rate, which strongly supports its academic achievements.

Compared to nearby schools, Fairmont stands out for its efficiency and consistent results. It achieves its outstanding outcomes with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than similar schools like Lakeview Elementary or Linda Vista Elementary. While Crescent Elementary in the Orange Unified district ranks slightly higher, Fairmont's decade-long record of excellence, equitable support for every learner, and effective use of resources make it a model school in the community.
