Fairview’s public schools outscore 86% of Texas districts

Math proficiency in Fairview’s districts is 60%, above the Texas average (41%). The grade covers the two public school districts 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 Texas, not nationally.
