Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a small-to-mid-size elementary school in Idaho Falls, ID, serving 299 students in grades PK–6, and it stands out as one of the top-performing elementary schools in the region despite its district ranking only near the middle statewide. Fairview consistently ranks in the top 20-25% of Idaho elementary schools, currently holding a 4-star rating and ranking 72nd out of 346 statewide (79th percentile). In 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, it reached 5-star status with ranks of 17th and 20th. The school substantially outpaces both its district and state in math and English Language Arts.

Most recently, Fairview posted 62.9% math proficiency versus 41.4% for the Bonneville Joint District and 43.1% statewide, and 67.4% ELA proficiency versus 54.9% district and 54.0% state. Only nearby Discovery Elementary (56.9% math, 64.9% ELA) and Iona Elementary (52.3% math, 65.3% ELA) come close. Fairview's 3rd grade results are exceptional: 73.3% math and 75.6% ELA, versus roughly 48-51% district and state averages. Science is the relative weak spot, with 42.1% of 5th graders proficient, slightly below the state average of 44%; both Iona (54%) and Discovery (47%) do better in science.

Fairview's free/reduced lunch rate is 38.8%, lower than several nearby schools such as Falls Valley Elementary (57.3%), Ucon Elementary (48.3%), Bridgewater Elementary (51.3%), Dora Erickson Elementary (82.1%), and A H Bush Elementary (81.0%). Chronic absenteeism has improved from 24.0% in 2021-2022 to 13.9% today, in line with state and district averages. The school spends a moderate $7,333 per student with a 17.5:1 student-teacher ratio. While scores remain high, there are signs of a gradual decline from 2022-2023 peaks, especially in science. There is also a mid-elementary dip in 4th and 5th grades, while 3rd grade is exceptional and 6th grade recovers. Overall, Fairview is the strongest all-around core academic school in the immediate area, achieving excellent results with moderate resources.
