Summary:
Fairview Public School District has two elementary schools: Number Three School, serving pre-K through grade 4, and Lincoln School Annex, serving pre-K through kindergarten. In 2025–2026, Number Three’s four reported grade-and-subject results ranged from 19.4% to 23.5%, generally close to district results but 22.7 to 29.8 percentage points below the state. The most important academic finding is that Number Three’s tested-grade proficiency was consistently far below the state level.
There is no meaningful academic top or bottom school comparison: Number Three is the only school with reported test scores, and the Annex serves only through kindergarten. Number Three’s scores were close to the district, ranging from 0.2 percentage points below to 1.4 points above it. The schools differ more clearly in attendance: in 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 9% at Number Three and 20% at the Annex, an 11-point gap; the district rate was 9% and the state rate was 14%. Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were similar, at 80% and 82%.
Year-to-year results were mixed at Number Three: ELA grade 3 improved by 5 percentage points and grade 4 declined by 5, while math grade 3 fell by 6 and grade 4 rose by 1. ELA’s gaps with the state narrowed, but the grade 3 math gap widened; overall, the average state gap remained about 26 points. SchoolDigger ranks the district 577th of 607 (5th percentile, zero stars); Number Three’s ranking history moved from the 7th to the 9th percentile. The Annex has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.2:1 versus 15.5:1 at Number Three), while its reported per-student spending is higher ($29,591 versus $15,520); the available data do not establish how these differences relate to academic performance.
