Fairview’s public schools outscore almost every Tennessee district

64% of students in Fairview’s public schools are proficient in math, above the Tennessee average (31%). The grade covers the public school district serving Fairview, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Tennessee, not nationally.
