Its proficiency is high in American History (92.3%), English II (90.8%), and Biology (87.7%), though its chronic absenteeism of 19.8% is the highest locally — well above the district's 12.0%. Fairview Middle ranks 134th of 1,046 middle schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), reports 100% Algebra I proficiency, and has low absenteeism at 9.9%.

All three schools have improved their rankings over three years, and every reported test average beats the state — by roughly 16 to 22 points at each school. Two dips are worth watching: middle school ELA 6 (79.4% to 71.2%) and elementary ELA 4 (69.4% to 67.2%), both still above their state averages. Fairview High also serves a very high share of students from low-income families (92.52% free/reduced lunch) while still posting strong academic results.
