Summary

Fairmont Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in New Albany, Indiana, with 329 students enrolled. While the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School District is ranked 100 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, Fairmont Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on ILEARN assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.15% of Fairmont students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.18% for the district, and 47.69% were proficient in math, compared to 50.31% for the district.

Fairmont Elementary also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.1% to 22.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.18% to 87% in recent years, much higher than the surrounding district schools like Floyds Knobs Elementary and Grant Line Elementary. Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,315 in 2023-2024) compared to the other district schools ($10,154 for Floyds Knobs Elementary and $10,179 for Grant Line Elementary), Fairmont Elementary is not achieving commensurate academic outcomes.

These findings suggest that Fairmont Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and high poverty concentration among its student population. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for the students at Fairmont Elementary.
