Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a small Pre-K through 5th grade school in Heiskell, TN, serving 258 students as part of Anderson County Schools. Despite the district's middling statewide standing, Fairview itself is a consistently high-performing school — ranked 193rd of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 81st percentile with a 4-star rating. Academic proficiency rates are far above district and state averages across math (60.7% vs. roughly 43% for both district and state), ELA (59.3% vs. roughly 39–40%), and science (56.8% vs. roughly 46–47%).

What really sets Fairview apart is its success with students from low-income backgrounds. In 2025–2026, its economically disadvantaged students ranked 38th of 823 schools statewide — the 95th percentile — and in 2021–2022, they ranked 9th, in the 99th percentile. The school also has remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 9.9%, compared to 17.1% for the district and 18.3% statewide, a sign of strong family engagement and a positive school climate. Fairview spends $15,957 per student, which is on the higher side, but the results justify the cost: nearby Paulette Elementary School actually spends more ($16,672) yet posts math proficiency of only 39.6%, compared to Fairview's 60.7%.

Among nearby schools, only Norris Elementary School clearly outranks Fairview academically, with higher scores in every subject. Halls Elementary School is the closest competitor — slightly better in math and science, but essentially tied in ELA. Fairview's only real soft spots are a dip in 5th grade ELA (42.5%, slightly below the state average) and historically weaker special education performance, though that area has improved significantly from the 23rd percentile to the 67th percentile over two years. Overall, Fairview's combination of strong academics, excellent results with disadvantaged students, and outstanding attendance makes it a standout choice in the Heiskell area.
