Summary:
In zip code 37062, there is one high school, Fairview High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in Fairview, Tennessee, with an enrollment of 688 students. The school is part of the Williamson County Schools district, which is ranked 3rd out of 141 districts in Tennessee and holds a 5-star district rating. Fairview High School itself, however, has seen a notable decline in its statewide rank, falling from 59th (85th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025 to 138th (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026. This places the school in the top third of Tennessee high schools, down from the top 20% just a year earlier.
Fairview’s academic strengths and concerns are clear when looking at TNReady test scores. English II is a standout subject, with a proficiency rate of 79.1% — well above the state average of 58.1% and close to the district’s 85.4%. Similarly, Geometry proficiency at 55.7% exceeds the state rate of 42.3%. However, Algebra I proficiency is only 15.8%, which is less than half the state average (32.3%) and far below the district’s 62.7%. Biology I is also a concern, with an overall proficiency rate of 44.7% that is below the state average, and 10th-grade Biology I proficiency is dramatically low at just 19.0% versus the state’s 41.3%. These gaps in math and science are the primary drivers of the school’s ranking drop and are critical areas for improvement.
Fairview still posts better graduation and attendance outcomes than the state overall. Its graduation rate of 91.9% slightly exceeds the state’s 90.5%, and its dropout rate of 1.4% is far better than the state average of 6.7%. Chronic absenteeism at 12.2% is below the state’s 18.3% but higher than the district’s 7.4%. The school spends a substantial $17,101 per student, reflecting strong district resources. For parents, this means Fairview is a solid, well-funded school with above-average literacy outcomes and student retention, but it is struggling in key math and science subjects. With the support of a top-tier district, there is clear potential to reverse the recent decline, but targeted academic interventions will be essential.
