Summary

Fairview Elementary is a PK–5 neighborhood school at 26 Memorial Ave. in Chicopee, Massachusetts, serving 387 students as part of the Chicopee district — the largest enrollment among the nearby Chicopee elementaries compared here. In 2025–2026, Fairview Elementary ranked 825th of 899 Massachusetts schools, the 8th percentile with 0 stars, its lowest recent ranking. Chicopee itself ranks 283rd of 351 districts statewide (19th percentile, 1 star). Fairview's rank history shows a long downward drift with one exception: a stronger 2023–2024 showing at the 34th percentile and 2 stars, followed by drops in 2024–2025 and 2025–2026.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 18.62% of Fairview students were proficient in English language arts, 13.19% in math, and 24.49% in science, versus district averages of 27.19%, 27.34%, and 34.02% and state averages of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Math is the clearest weakness — nearly 28 points below the state — and 4th grade is the weakest point (10.81% ELA, 8.33% math). Among nearby Chicopee elementaries, Barry, Lambert-Lavoie, Streiber Memorial School, and Bowie all post higher ELA and math results; Bowie sits at the 54th percentile with 3 stars and 43.55% ELA, 36.89% math, and 56.86% science. Fairview does outperform Holyoke's Morgan Full Service Community School, H.B. Lawrence School, and Kelly Elementary in all three subjects, and edges E N White Elementary in science, though E N White is higher in ELA and math. Fairview trails Mosier in South Hadley in ELA and math.

Fairview's staffing and spending look relatively favorable: a 10.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and $19,094 per-student spending in 2020–2021, better than most nearby schools, so resources alone do not explain the results. Subgroup effectiveness has been uneven — low-income students ranked in the 21st percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 65th percentile in 2023–2024, and special education students have ranged from the 44th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 13th in 2024–2025. Free and reduced-price lunch data were not available, so the school's economic context is unclear. The bottom line: Fairview is currently among the lowest-ranked elementary schools in the state, with weak math and 4th grade results the most urgent signals.
