Best Public Schools in Fairview, MT

Summary:

The city of Fairview, Montana is home to three schools: Fairview School (an elementary school), Fairview High School, and Fairview 6-8 (a middle school). These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Fairview Elementary and Fairview High School districts.

Among the three schools, Fairview High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 73 out of 182 Montana high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school outperformed the state average in mathematics proficiency for 11th-grade students, with 35.29% proficient or better compared to the state's 31.25%. Additionally, Fairview High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8:1, which may contribute to its academic success.

While the other two schools, Fairview School (elementary) and Fairview 6-8 (middle school), have lower statewide rankings and ratings, they still demonstrate some strengths. Fairview School outperformed the state average in mathematics proficiency for all grades, with 37.29% proficient or better compared to the state's 36.77%. However, the higher free and reduced lunch rates at Fairview 6-8 (50.85%) and Fairview School (48.51%) may indicate potential challenges these schools face in terms of student achievement and resource allocation.
