Summary:
ZIP code 74343 has three public Fairland Elementary School (pre-K–5), Fairland Middle School (grades 6–8), and Fairland High School (grades 9–12), enrolling 551 students combined. The clearest area-wide concern is mathematics: the schools average 18% proficient, compared with 25% statewide, with the weakest result at High at 10%.
The schools’ strongest results vary by subject. Elementary leads mathematics at 28%, 18 percentage points above High’s 10%; it also ties Middle for the science lead, with both at 26% versus High’s 20%. In ELA, High leads at 29%, while Middle is lowest at 22%; High is 3 points above the state result, and Middle is 4 points below. High also has a 90% graduation rate, compared with 78% statewide, but its mathematics and science results are below state levels.
Results declined in most school-subject comparisons from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, although Middle improved by 1 point in ELA and 3 points in science. Across the three schools, the average fell 8 points in ELA, 5 in mathematics, and 6 in science; Middle’s improvements were exceptions to that pattern. SchoolDigger rankings are relatively close: Elementary is at the 46th percentile, High at the 41st, and Middle at the 39th. In 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students were 68% at Elementary, 66% at Middle, and 55% at High; student–teacher ratios that year ranged from 13.3 at Elementary to 17.6 at High. These measures provide context, not explanations for test results. Because the schools serve different grades, all-grades results are broad comparisons rather than like-for-like grade comparisons.
