Summary

Fairview Elementary is a public school in West Plains, Missouri, serving 487 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Fairview R-Xi District, which is ranked 109 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairview Elementary has seen a steady decline in chronic absenteeism rates, from 18.6% in 2021-2022 to 12.2% in 2023-2024, outperforming the state average of around 15%. However, the school's test scores show a mixed performance, with strong results in 7th and 8th-grade mathematics but struggling in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages. Fairview Elementary also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.52% to 50.51%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Fairview Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the region. For example, Willow Springs Elementary and Bakersfield Elementary have higher test scores in certain grade levels and subjects, while Koshkonong Elementary and Glenwood Elementary have lower overall performance. By addressing areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and 3rd-grade proficiency, and collaborating with higher-performing schools, Fairview Elementary can work towards improving its educational outcomes for all students.
