Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Midland, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 335 students. The school is part of the Western Beaver County School District, which is ranked 146 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairview Elementary has consistently ranked in the middle-to-upper range of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with some notable strengths in the early grades. The school's 3rd-grade math proficiency (64.6%) was significantly higher than the state average (53.5%) in 2024-2025, and its 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency (53.4%) was also higher than the state average (48.3%) in the same year. However, the school struggles in the upper grades, particularly in 5th-grade math, where proficiency is significantly lower than the state average (13.9% vs. 44%). Fairview's higher percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) and disabled students may contribute to these academic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, Dutch Ridge Elementary in the Beaver Area School District stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 5% of Pennsylvania elementary schools and significantly outperforming Fairview and the state averages on PSSA tests. Other nearby schools, such as South Side Elementary and Central Elementary, also generally have stronger academic outcomes than Fairview, particularly in math and science.
