Being a Title I School means receiving federal funding (Title I dollars) to supplement the school's existing programs.

At Fairview Elementary, Title I funds are used:
* to obtain a high-quality education for all of our students by highly qualified faculty and staff
* development and annual revision of our Parent Policy

Fairview Elementary School uses programs that support the Indiana Academic Standards:

* My Math (McGraw-Hill)
* Fluency Assessments
* Orton-Gillingham (OG) phonics
