The administration and the staff care about the children. They look after each one as if they were the only student. I have seen them time and time again go the extra mile to care for the physical and academic needs of the students. Dave Marianno has proven great leadership through maintaining high standards and being an example. The kids trust him. We may not have the highest API, but they are molding and shaping these young lives to be respectful, creative and to always do their best in whatever they do! Thank you FAIRVIEW STAFF!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
