Fairview School

Fairview School has a warm and steady feel, the kind that makes kids settle in comfortably each morning. Across Maine, math proficiency typically sits in a middle-to-slightly-higher range, and Fairview usually follows that same pattern—some years leaning a bit stronger depending on the group. The teacher–student ratio feels comfortable, with one adult guiding a small bunch of kids so classrooms stay calm. When compared with East Auburn Community School or Sherwood Heights, Fairview’s proficiency levels often align closely, though some parents say Fairview feels a little more structured in its daily routines. Rent for a three-bedroom home in Auburn usually falls in the mid-two-thousands, shifting based on how close you are to town centers or parks. After Fairview, most students attend Edward Little High School. That high school is known for producing community-focused alumni—nurses, firefighters, small business owners, mechanics, IT workers, and even a few who join regional arts or culinary programs. Inside Fairview, the atmosphere feels predictable and gentle. Teachers greet kids by name, hallways feel steady, and students walk with a quiet confidence that comes from feeling supported throughout the day.

Fairview School recently implemented a new vocabulary-building block in the mornings. Afternoon math help sessions were also added for students needing extra practice.
