Summary:
The Fairfield Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Fairfield Community School District in Iowa. This public school educates students in grades 5-8 and has consistently ranked in the top half of Iowa middle schools, with a statewide ranking of 106 out of 334 in the 2022-2023 school year.
Fairfield Middle School's performance on standardized tests is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's ELA proficiency rates exceed the state average by a significant margin, especially in the upper grades. However, while the school's math proficiency rates are above the district average, they lag behind the state average in several grade levels, suggesting a potential area for improvement. The school's relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is also a positive indicator of student engagement.
With a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 to 1 and spending per student of $13,667, Fairfield Middle School appears to have a strong investment in resources and support for its students. The school's 45.69% free/reduced lunch rate indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school. Overall, Fairfield Middle School is a well-performing school within its district and the state of Iowa, with particular strengths in English Language Arts, but could benefit from a closer examination of its math performance to ensure all students are receiving a well-rounded education.
