Summary

Fairview Attendance Center is a small, rural elementary school in Golden, Mississippi, serving 120 students in grades K through 6 within the Itawamba County school district. With a student-teacher ratio of just 10.9:1, children receive plenty of individual attention in this tight-knit community school. Fairview currently holds a 3-star rating and ranks 126th out of 377 elementary schools statewide, placing it in the 67th percentile.

Mathematics is Fairview's standout subject. In the most recent testing cycle, 80% of 3rd graders scored proficient in math — the highest rate among all nearby comparison schools, including Mooreville Elementary School and Itawamba Attendance Center — and well above the state average of 48.8%. Fifth grade math also outperformed both district and state averages. Science, however, is a weaker area: 5th grade science proficiency (64.3%) came in below district and state averages, and trailed schools like Marietta Elementary School (88.5%) and Mooreville Elementary School (90.3%). Reading scores are mixed — 3rd grade ELA (46.7%) lags significantly behind math, though 4th grade reading beat both district and state averages. This math-versus-reading gap suggests the school's effective math strategies haven't yet translated to literacy.

Fairview serves a predominantly low-income population, with 85.8% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch — a higher rate than nearby Dorsey Attendance Center, Tishomingo Elementary School, Itawamba Attendance Center, and Marietta Elementary School. Despite this, its math results surpass many wealthier neighboring schools, making it a noteworthy success story. One concern for parents is chronic absenteeism: 19.1% of students are chronically absent, more than double Marietta Elementary School's rate of 8.9%. The school has improved steadily over the past two years, climbing 42 spots in statewide rankings, driven largely by rising math scores. With small classes and strong math instruction, Fairview offers a supportive environment, though families may want to supplement reading and science at home.
