Summary

Fairview Elementary is a K–5 school in Monroe, NC, serving 394 students as part of Union County Public Schools, a district with a 4-star rating that ranks among the top 50 of 246 districts statewide. For the past decade, Fairview Elementary has been a consistently solid school, earning 4 stars every year and typically placing in the top quarter to top fifth of North Carolina elementary schools. From 2022–2023 through 2024–2025, it ranked in the 88th to 90th percentile statewide. The most recent 2025–2026 school year, however, brought a notable dip to the 71st percentile — its lowest mark since 2015–2016. That decline appears across several 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade reading and math scores, yet Fairview still beats state averages in most tested subjects.

Fairview's clearest academic strength is 5th-grade science, where 82.5% of students tested proficient in 2025–2026, topping the district's 79.3% and the state's 67.7%. The school also posted strong science results in prior years. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 35.7% in 2021–2022 to 13.5% in 2024–2025 — better than the district's 14.6% and far below the state's 24.2%. With about 35% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Fairview has a moderate poverty rate compared with neighborhood schools like Clear Creek Elementary, where the rate exceeds 99%.

Compared with neighboring schools, Fairview's latest results are mixed. It trails Poplin Elementary in most reading and math subtests and ranks below Hemby Bridge Elementary overall. But Fairview outperforms Hemby Bridge in 4th-grade math, 4th-grade reading, and 5th-grade science, and its science scores beat those of Unionville Elementary and Porter Ridge Elementary. The school also outperforms high-poverty neighbors like Sardis Elementary and Clear Creek Elementary on statewide rank. The most important trend to watch is 3rd grade, where math proficiency (63.3%) fell below the state average and reading (58.2%) trailed the district. Since 3rd grade is foundational, families may want to follow whether this cohort rebounds by the time it reaches 4th and 5th grade.
