Summary:
The Fairview Public School District in New Jersey operates two elementary schools: Number Three School and Lincoln School Annex. Both schools are struggling, with low performance on standardized tests and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
Number Three School ranked 1222 out of 1347 New Jersey elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with only 17-28% of students scoring proficient or better on the NJSLA English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. Lincoln School Annex does not have any available statewide ranking or performance data, but both schools had a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average.
The data also shows that both schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, with 75.57% of Number Three School students and 66.4% of Lincoln School Annex students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The difference in per-student spending between the two schools ($605 per student) suggests that there may be an imbalance in resource allocation within the Fairview Public School District, which could be contributing to the disparities in performance.
