Summary

Fairlawn Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 2021 S Alvord Blvd on Evansville’s south side, serving 450 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. On Indiana’s 2025–2026 rankings, Fairlawn placed 931st of 1,015 schools (8th percentile, 0 stars), well below its own district. Its 2025–26 ILEARN proficiency rates were 16.15% in English/language arts, 19.27% in math, and 14.55% in science—far under district and state averages. The school has posted three consecutive 0-star years after about a decade in the mid-to-high teens and low twenties percentile with 1 star.

Attendance is Fairlawn’s clearest strength. In 2024–25, 15.6% of students were chronically absent—better than the district (21.5%), the state (16.7%), and every nearby school compared here, including Vogel Elementary School and Harper Elementary School (both 16.9%) and Joshua Academy (17.9%). That is a sharp improvement from 21.3% the year before. Academically, Fairlawn is near the bottom overall but leads its immediate neighborhood cluster: within about 1.3 miles, it outscored Lodge Community School, Dexter Elementary School, and Glenwood Leadership Academy in reading, math, and science. However, schools with similar student-need levels—such as Vogel (42.54% ELA, 43.87% math) and Harper (33.71% ELA)—score roughly two to three times higher.

Fairlawn showed real 2025–26 gains in every subject: ELA rose from 10.66% to 16.15%, math from 9.18% to 19.27%, and science from 5.8% to 14.55%, though its rank only moved from the 4th to the 8th percentile. Fifth grade is the weakest group in every subject tested: 6.94% proficient in math and 9.72% in social studies. Spending and class size do not appear to be the main constraints: per-student spending reached $12,880 and the student–teacher ratio improved to 13.0. For parents, the takeaways are a school making recent academic progress with strong attendance, but still far below comparable nearby schools like Vogel and Harper.
