Summary:
Fairview, Tennessee is served by four public schools—Fairview High School, Fairview Middle School, Westwood Elementary School, and Fairview Elementary School—covering grades PK through 12 as part of the Williamson County Schools district, which ranks in the 98th percentile of Tennessee districts. Despite belonging to the same elite district, the four schools look very different. Fairview Elementary School is the most improved, climbing from the 74th to 82nd percentile in state rankings with a 10.2-point jump in ELA proficiency, while Fairview High School dropped sharply from the 85th to 66th percentile over the same period.
Fairview High School is the area's biggest concern: Algebra I proficiency is just 15.8%, less than half the state average and far below the district's 62.7%, with Biology and English I also falling by double digits. Still, it maintains a 91.9% graduation rate and a very low 1.4% dropout rate. Fairview Middle School shows a striking math pattern—6th-grade math is just 26.3% proficient versus a 66.7% district rate, but reaches 55.1% by 8th grade—while ELA remains flat near 40%. Westwood Elementary School is the steady performer, hovering in the 78th–82nd percentile with minimal year-over-year changes.
Chronic absenteeism is a concern at the upper grades: Fairview Middle School and Fairview High School sit near 12%, while Fairview Elementary School is best at 7.3%—all well below the 18.3% state average. Per-student spending ranges from $15,574 at Fairview Middle School to $17,551 at the fast-improving Fairview Elementary School. Across both elementary schools, 4th graders are a consistent highlight, outperforming 3rd and 5th graders in every subject. Bottom line: Fairview offers solid elementary schools, a middle school with strong science and social studies but weak ELA, and a high school whose core math results need attention—a mixed picture inside one of Tennessee's top-ranked districts.
