Summary

Fairview Elementary School is a PK-8 school in Huntsville, Tennessee, serving 260 students within Scott County Schools, a district ranked in the bottom third of Tennessee. Despite that, Fairview has become a true standout, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide (276th out of 1,019 schools) in 2025-2026 — its third consecutive year of 4-star status after climbing from a 1-star ranking in 2017-2018.

Fairview outperforms both its district and the state in math, English language arts, and science. In 2025-2026, 49.7% of students scored proficient in math versus 43% statewide, 45.1% in ELA versus 40.6% statewide, and 48.4% in science versus 46.9% statewide. The early elementary grades are especially strong: 75% of 4th graders were proficient in both math and ELA, far exceeding state averages. Social studies, however, remains a persistent weakness, with just 28.9% proficiency compared to 51.4% statewide. The school also delivers exceptional results for economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 98th percentile for that subgroup — a sign that Fairview is effectively closing achievement gaps. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 7.9%, well below the 18.3% state average and far better than nearby schools like LaFollette Elementary School (33.4%) and Oneida Elementary School (22.7%).

The school backs up its results with strong resources, spending $15,462 per student and maintaining a student-teacher ratio of roughly 11 to 1. Among nearby schools, Fairview ranks highest, ahead of Huntsville Elementary School (71st percentile), Jacksboro Elementary School (43rd percentile), and others. One area of concern is the middle grades, where achievement drops off noticeably — just 12.5% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA versus 32.3% statewide. For parents, Fairview offers a compelling combination of strong early-grade instruction, outstanding support for low-income students, and a positive school climate, even as its middle school years and social studies curriculum leave room for improvement.
