Summary

Fairfield Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 354 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bethel School District 52, which is ranked 117 out of 140 districts in the state.

Fairfield Elementary School has shown a mixed performance in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. However, the school has performed exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with special needs, ranking among the top schools in Oregon for these groups. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.2% to 38.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Fairfield Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.86% to 65.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools in the Eugene School District 4J, Fairfield Elementary School's performance is generally lower, with McCornack Elementary School and Yujin Gakuen Elementary School having significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. However, the school's strong performance for certain student subgroups suggests that it may have effective strategies in place to support the needs of specific populations.
