Summary

Fairview High School is a public high school in Fairview, Montana, serving 92 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Fairview High School District, which is ranked 158 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Fairview High School's key strengths is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8 to 10.3 students per teacher over the past three years, significantly lower than the nearby Sidney High School, which has a ratio of 12.2. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with students outperforming the state average in mathematics but underperforming in English Language Arts and Science. Additionally, Fairview High School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.42% to 41.3%, compared to 32.68% at Sidney High School.

Fairview High School's ranking within the state has fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance. While the school's low student-teacher ratio is a positive factor, it does not seem to translate into consistently strong academic outcomes, as evidenced by the school's underperformance in certain subject areas compared to the state average and the nearby Sidney High School. This suggests that factors beyond just student-teacher ratio and socioeconomic status may be influencing the school's academic performance, and further analysis may be needed to identify areas for improvement.
