Summary:
The 32305 zip code in Tallahassee, Florida is home to a single middle school, Fairview Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in certain end-of-course exams, it faces challenges in other areas, including lower-than-average performance on state assessments and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Fairview Middle School is a public magnet school with a total enrollment of 731 students. The school is ranked 913 out of 1,205 Florida middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Over the past few years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, going from 795 out of 1,196 schools in 2023-2024 to 823 out of 1,177 schools in 2022-2023. The school's test scores are mixed, with strong performance in some end-of-course exams but below-average results in the FAST English Language Arts and Math assessments for grades 6-8.
Despite the school's challenges, it appears to be investing more resources per student than the state average, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.8, which is slightly lower than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively low-income student population, with 56.91% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's performance is mixed, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement and further investigation into the school's dynamics and resource allocation.
