Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bloomington, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 376 students. It is part of the Monroe County Community School Corporation, a district ranked 110 out of 380 in Indiana and with a 4-star rating.

Fairview Elementary School faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 24.3%, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 38.89% of Fairview students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.86% for the district and 40.3% for the state. Similarly, in math, only 42.8% of Fairview students were proficient or better, compared to 50.15% for the district and 51.5% for the state. Additionally, Fairview has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.75% to 84.39%, much higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Fairview Elementary School to nearby schools within the same district, the differences are stark. For instance, Childs Elementary School, only 2.75 miles away, consistently outperforms Fairview in test scores, with over 68% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and over 81% proficient or better in Math in the 2024-2025 school year. Childs also has a much lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (15.42%) and a higher student-teacher ratio (15.6). These comparisons suggest that Fairview Elementary School may be facing unique challenges in supporting its student population and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve student outcomes.
