Summary
Fairview Elementary School is a K–4 school in Logansport, Indiana that serves 428 students in a high-poverty community, where roughly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. It is part of Logansport Community School Corp, a district ranked 329th of 374 Indiana districts (12th percentile, 1 star). Fairview itself ranks 854th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 (16th percentile, 1 star) and has held a 1-star rating for four straight reported years. A decade ago it sat at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, so the school has slid substantially over time.
In 2025–2026, all-grades ILEARN proficiency at Fairview was 19.35% in ELA, 28.39% in Math, and 23.68% in Science. Those figures trail every tested nearby school except Columbia Elementary School (12.75% ELA, 22.97% Math) — and Columbia serves more low-income students (84.49% vs. 79.91%) while spending more ($11,098 vs. $10,862) with smaller classes. Landis Elementary School, in the same district, is far ahead (32.92% ELA, 41.85% Math) despite lower spending and larger classes. Northwestern Elementary School, a 4-star school, reaches 54.61% ELA and 53.19% Math. Grade-level results are weaker still: 4th-grade ELA was 15.79% versus 29.04% district and 42.2% state, and 4th-grade Science was 23.68% versus 33.77% district and 43.8% state. Both tested grades fall below district in Math, so the all-grades Math edge over the district average (28.39% vs. 21.77%) should be read with caution.
Chronic absenteeism was 15.0% in 2024–2025 — above the district's 14.6% and well above Landis's 8.2%, though below the state's 16.7%. It has been volatile, spiking to 42.8% in 2021–2022 before falling to 9.7% and then rising again. Notably, Fairview's per-student spending of $10,862 and its 14.5 student–teacher ratio are not at the bottom of the local group, so resources alone do not explain the results. For parents, the clearest priorities appear to be 4th-grade ELA and Science, grade-level Math, and attendance.
