Summary

Fairview Elementary School in Ashland, Kentucky, serves pre-K through grade 6 and enrolls 271 students in an area with several nearby public-school options. In 2025–2026, every reported Fairview score matched the score for Fairview Independent. The clearest concern is fifth-grade reading: just 17% of students were proficient, compared with 51% statewide, a 34-point gap and the lowest reported result among nearby schools serving fifth grade.

Reading is also a concern in other grades: fourth-grade proficiency was 39%, 11 points below the state’s 50%, and third grade was 38%, also 11 points below its state result. In both grades, Fairview scored below nearly all nearby schools with results; third grade was the exception to that pattern at Charles Russell Elementary School. Fairview’s relative strength is math, where scores were closer to state results: fourth-grade math was 32% versus 43% statewide, and sixth-grade math was 40% versus 42%. Still, fourth-grade math trailed most nearby reported scores, while fifth-grade Editing and Mechanics was 29%, 19 points below the state and lower than all eight nearby schools with results. Sixth-grade reading was a comparatively stronger result at 50%, just 4 points below the state.

Results have shifted over time: third-grade reading fell 47 points from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, and fifth-grade reading fell 20 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while sixth-grade math rose 10 points from 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranks Fairview at the 19th statewide percentile with one star, down from the 44th percentile in 2022–2023; the district ranks 149th of 158, at the 6th percentile with zero stars. Fairview’s student-teacher ratio is 12.5, below the nearby-school average of about 13.6. In 2024–2025, 91% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the highest nearby share. In SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves low socioeconomic status students, Fairview ranked at the 29th percentile, above its overall 19th percentile but down from the 45th percentile in 2023–2024; its female-student ranking also fell, from the 41st to the 14th percentile between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. Some grade-subject results are suppressed, and no nearby sixth-grade comparisons are supplied.
