Summary

Fairview High School is a public high school in Fairview, TN, serving 688 students in grades 9–12 as part of Williamson County Schools, one of Tennessee’s highest-performing districts (#3 of 141 districts, 5 stars). The school spends $17,101 per student—more than nearby Franklin High School, Independence High School, and Centennial High School—and maintains a student-teacher ratio around 13.6:1. However, Fairview’s own state ranking sits at #138 of 400 schools (66th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025-2026, a notable drop from #59 (85th percentile, 4 stars) the prior year and part of a pattern of significant year-to-year swings over the past decade.

Academically, Fairview lags its district peers in every tested subject. For example, Algebra I proficiency is just 15.8% compared to the district’s 62.7%, and Biology I is 44.7% versus the district’s 71.5%. Fairview also ranks last among the district’s five non-virtual high schools, behind Franklin High School, Renaissance High School, Independence High School, and Centennial High School. On the positive side, Fairview outperforms the state average in several subjects, including English II (79.1% vs. 58.1%), Geometry (55.7% vs. 42.3%), and US History (47.3% vs. 42.4%). It also compares favorably to out-of-district neighbors: English II proficiency is higher than James Lawson High School (35.9%), East Hickman High School (45.8%), Harpeth High School (57.6%), and Creek Wood High School (66.5%).

Fairview’s graduation rate is 91.9%, the lowest among nearby schools with reported data (Centennial High School is 97.6%, Franklin High School 95.9%), though it exceeds the state rate of 90.5% and the dropout rate is a low 1.4%. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 35.7% in 2021-2022 to 12.2% in 2024-2025, better than the state’s 18.3% but above the district’s 7.4%. The school shows strong results for specific student groups, with African American students in the 74th percentile and low-socioeconomic-status students in the 71st percentile statewide. However, persistent weaknesses in math and science—particularly Algebra I and 10th-grade Biology at 19.0% proficiency—suggest targeted improvement is needed despite the school’s strong district reputation.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, January 14, 2025

Fairview High School is the worst school I have ever seen. Zero accountability of staff and Principal. The Principal tells a parent that even though their child was threatened, they would have to find evidence before he would do anything about it. They cover up everything they can. Even their test scores are fixed. My kids come home and they tell us how the teachers give them answers, don't count the test on their grades, and more to make their reports look better. Many of the teachers dont care or communicate with parents. Even when you reach out to the district, they wont respond. Close Quote
