Best Public Schools in Fairview, NJ

The city of Fairview, New Jersey is home to three schools - two elementary schools (Number Three School and Lincoln School Annex) and one middle school (Lincoln School) - all of which are part of the Fairview Public School District. Based on the available data, the schools in Fairview appear to be performing below average compared to state-wide benchmarks.

None of the three Fairview schools stand out as clear high performers. Number Three School is ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools and has very low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. Lincoln School is ranked in the bottom 25% of New Jersey middle schools and also has low proficiency rates across subject areas. Lincoln School Annex does not have enough data to determine a statewide ranking, but its proficiency rates are not reported, suggesting they are also quite low.

Across the district, the schools face several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (around 15%), significantly below-average test scores, and very high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 66.4% to 75.57%). While spending per student and student-teacher ratios are in line with state averages, the consistently low performance across the Fairview school district indicates systemic issues that need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.
