Summary:
Zip code 70644 is home to a single school, Fairview High School, an alternative school serving grades PK through 12 with 387 students in the Allen Parish school district, which is ranked 24th out of 116 districts in Louisiana.
Fairview High School stands out as a high-performing anomaly among alternative schools. It boasts a 93.8% graduation rate, a 0% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism at 15.2%—all better than state averages. Overall test proficiency is strong, with 84% of students proficient in math, 88% in English Language Arts, and 73% in social studies, significantly exceeding both district and state levels. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, which supports individualized attention. However, 64.34% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a majority come from low-income households.
While the school excels in lower grades—with 100% of 4th graders proficient in ELA and 91% of 7th graders proficient in math—there is a sharp decline in some high school End-of-Course exams. Proficiency in U.S. History (30%) and English II (50%) falls well below state averages, contrasting with strong results in Algebra I (90%) and English I (85%). This inconsistency suggests challenges in specific high school subjects, despite overall strong early-grade instruction and year-over-year improvement in areas like Algebra I, which jumped from 68% to 90% proficiency.
