Summary:
The city of Fairfield, Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Fairfield Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Rockbridge County Public Schools district. While Fairfield Elementary has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it appears to be an average-performing school within the district and the state of Virginia, with fluctuating statewide rankings and below-average performance on standardized tests.
Fairfield Elementary's statewide ranking has varied significantly over the past three years, ranging from 375th out of 1,109 Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 735th out of 1,103 in 2020-2021. Its current ranking for 2022-2023 is 611th out of 1,114, placing it in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the SOL (Standards of Learning) exams, is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and English reading.
Additionally, Fairfield Elementary has a high percentage of students (75.32%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 could be a positive factor, the data suggests that Fairfield Elementary may require additional resources and targeted interventions to address the unique needs of its students and improve academic outcomes.
