Fairview Elementary School

Public Grades

Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, serving 271 students in grades K-5. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the West Shore School District, consistently outpacing its peers in academic achievement and statewide rankings.

Fairview Elementary School's academic performance is truly impressive, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages in standardized tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 67.8% of Fairview students were proficient or better in PSSA/Math, compared to just 47.3% for the West Shore School District and 40.4% for Pennsylvania. The school also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the top 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for both male students and students with disabilities.

Fairview Elementary School's consistent high performance is further evidenced by its statewide ranking, which has consistently placed it in the top 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade. This exceptional academic achievement is likely supported by the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student. While Fairview serves a more affluent student population compared to nearby schools, its ability to maintain exceptional outcomes is truly remarkable.
