Fair Park leads in five of six tested areas and beats the state average in all but one — its 3rd grade math (49.25%) is the only result at either school below the state, sitting 10.63 points under the district and marking a 10.75-point one-year drop. Green Tree's bright spot is 4th grade social studies (73.97%), which edges its own district average, and its 4th grade ELA climbed 11.09 points to 60.27%, the largest single-year gain in the data. Its 4th grade math, however, fell 7.49 points, from above the district to below it.
Both schools share a striking strength: chronic absenteeism of 5.2% and 5.7%, well below the district's 8.8% and roughly a third of the state's 17.3%. Both also held steady while the district's average slipped 1.80 points, narrowing Fair Park's gap to the district to 0.60 points and Green Tree's to 4.50. The roughly 3.9-point average proficiency gap between the schools is not explained by money, class size, or poverty rates, which differ only slightly. Overall, both are solidly above state proficiency averages.
