Summary:
The Western Beaver County School District has one elementary school, Fairview Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is located in a rural area and has a student population of 335.
Fairview Elementary School's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts and Science, but some areas of weakness in Math, particularly in the upper grades. The school's proficiency rates on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) tests have fluctuated in recent years, with the school's statewide ranking ranging from 616th out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 729th out of 1,511 in 2024-2025. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 49.25% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggests a student population with higher economic needs, which may impact academic performance.
Despite the mixed academic performance, Fairview Elementary School appears to be well-resourced, with a per-student spending of $18,321 for the 2022-2023 school year and a small student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest a focus on providing additional resources and support for students, which may be contributing to the school's academic outcomes.
