Summary

Fairlawn Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 493 students in grades PK-5 within the Miami-Dade district, and it has become a standout for its impressive academic turnaround and strong focus on student attendance.

Fairlawn has shown remarkable growth, especially in science, where 5th-grade proficiency soared from 38% to 71% over two years—now exceeding both district and state averages. This upward momentum is a bright spot compared to nearby schools like Sylvania Heights Elementary and Henry M. Flagler Elementary, which have seen their rankings decline. The school also excels in 3rd-grade math, with 73% proficiency matching the district average and outperforming the state. However, parents should note a consistent dip in 4th-grade scores in both math and English, which may be an area to watch as your child progresses.

One of Fairlawn’s biggest successes is its dramatic reduction in chronic absenteeism, dropping to 16.4%—far below the district’s 28.2% and state’s 31.4%. This improvement likely supports its academic gains. The school also operates efficiently, spending less per student ($13,647) than peers like Flagami Elementary while achieving stronger results. While it can’t directly compete with wealthier neighbors like Coral Gables Preparatory Academy, Fairlawn’s science scores now rival theirs, proving it delivers high-quality learning despite different resources. Overall, Fairlawn is a school on the rise, pulling away from lower-performing neighbors like Kinloch Park Elementary and offering a strong foundation for young learners.
