About Fairland
History of Fairland Elementary School
Fairland Elementary School has proudly served the Fairland community since 1874, beginning as a one-room schoolhouse for local farming families near the intersection of Fairland Road and Old Columbia Pike. As the community grew, a larger Fairland High School was built in 1918, later evolving into an elementary school that expanded several times over the decades to meet the needs of its students.
In 1993, Fairland Elementary moved to its current location at 14315 Fairdale Road, just off Briggs Chaney Road. Today, the school serves nearly 600 students in Pre-K through Grade 5, including PEP (Preschool Education Program) and Special Education classes.
Fairland offers a rich and well-rounded education through a variety of specials programs, including Art, Music, Physical Education, Technology, and Media/Library. Our diverse student body reflects the vibrant cultural and socioeconomic mix of southeastern Montgomery County, creating an inclusive and dynamic learning environment.
Supported by an active PTA, dedicated staff, and engaged families, Fairland Elementary continues a proud tradition of academic excellence, community involvement, and lifelong learning.
