Summary

Fairview Elementary School in Demorest, GA, serves 478 students in Pre-K through 5th grade within the highly rated Habersham County School District, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide.

Fairview is a solid mid-tier performer, currently ranking in the 56th percentile of Georgia elementary schools with a 3-star rating. The school's standout strength is 5th-grade math, where 56.4% of students are proficient—a remarkable 14 points above the district average and 12 points above the state. This isn't a fluke; last year's 5th graders posted nearly identical results. However, 4th-grade math tells a different story, with only 39.5% proficiency—roughly 10 points below both district and state averages, and a sharp drop from the prior year. Science scores in 5th grade also lag, with 32.3% proficiency compared to 39.6% in the district and 44.2% statewide. Interestingly, the district shows the opposite pattern (strong 4th-grade math, weaker 5th-grade math), suggesting Fairview's math instruction may be especially effective in upper grades but needs attention in 4th grade. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $15,965 per pupil—more than nearby Demorest Elementary ($13,847) and Clarkesville Elementary ($15,503)—while maintaining a favorable 11.6-to-1 student-teacher ratio.

On the positive side, Fairview excels at keeping kids in school. Its chronic absenteeism rate is just 11.0%, far better than the district (13.2%) and state (17.7%), and a big improvement from last year's 15.1%. The school has also shown resilience: even as the percentage of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch jumped dramatically from about 51% to 96% over three years, the school's overall state ranking remained relatively stable. Subgroup data shows male students (58th percentile) outperforming female students (49th percentile), and the school's overall ranking is supported by strong performance across multiple student groups. While the school's high spending and low class sizes haven't yet translated into consistent top-tier results across all subjects, its 5th-grade math success and excellent attendance record provide a strong foundation for families considering this school.
