Summary:
The Fairview Public School District has only one middle school, Lincoln School, which serves grades 6-8. The data reveals that Lincoln School is a consistently low-performing middle school, ranking in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools over the past three school years.
Lincoln School's academic performance is significantly below the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 16.8% to 41.1%, compared to the state average of 52.7% to 57.1%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates at Lincoln School ranged from 13.2% to 21.2%, while the state average was 20.7% to 44.2%. The school's performance on the NJSLA-S/Science test is also very low, with only 11.8% of 5th graders and 1.3% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to state averages of 30.1% and 19%, respectively.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, Lincoln School serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 69% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's consistently low rankings and significant gaps in proficiency rates suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
