Farmington View Parents for Academic Excellence (FVPAE) is an entirely volunteer based non-profit organization that raises funds for an Accelerated Math Program at Farmington View Elementary School (FVES) in Hillsboro, Oregon. Our organization was founded in 1996 and is recognized as a 501(c)3 organization. Our Tax ID Number is 31-1720292.

FVPAE Mission
To provide all FVES students the unique opportunity to achieve academic excellence through an enriched and advanced math curriculum.

Our Unique Math Program
FVPAE provides funding for a half time math specialist to teach accelerated math curriculum to qualified fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students.  This benefits all students in grades 4-6 by allowing homeroom teachers to work with smaller groups of students at an appropriate pace.  The Accelerated Math Program is in addition to homeroom teachers allocated by the Hillsboro School District (HSD).  Each school year FVPAE must raise $50,000+ to fund this program for the following school year in order for it to continue.

More than 25 Years of Success

• Beginning in 1992 the program was originally school board funded
• Due to ongoing budget reductions it was to be cut in 1996
• Concerned and ambitious parents formed FVPAE as a non-profit organization and has been raising money to fund the program ever since
• FVPAE has found a simple formula to build a generation of students excited about Math!  These children are our future engineers, biologists, doctors, etc.

How It Works

• Mrs. Janet Rabe teaches Advanced Math Classes everyday
• 4th graders learn Advanced 5th grade math
• 5th graders learn Advanced 6th grade math
• 6th graders learn 7th and 8th grade math
• 4th, 5th and 6th Homeroom teachers teach Bridges grade level math everyday
• By having two levels each student is placed in the appropriate math class for their needs and each classroom size is smaller allowing more personalized instruction at the appropriate pace for each student group.
• ALL math classes (K-6) are taught individual grade level math despite homeroom split classes allowing focused math instruction for every each grade.

Key Benefits for All Students (Homeroom and Accelerated)

• Smaller class sizes!
• Personalized instruction!
• Appropriate pace!
• Higher test scores!
• Self confidence and personal growth!

PROVEN RESULTS

• FVES students have the unique benefit of learning math in a smaller classroom environment.  This is unprecedented in any public school system. 
• A higher percentage of FVES students meet or exceed state standards compared to the HSD and the State of Oregon each year on a consistent basis.
• FVES math students thrive across all demographics including "Economically Disadvantaged" and "English Learners".
• Statistics show that interest in math historically drops off beginning in 5^th grade. This does not happen at FVES.
• Many FVES students enroll in advanced math classes and/or higher math levels when they enter middle school ad continue to excel through high school due to a strong math background learned early and enthusiastically.

Impacting Middle School, High School and Beyond

• 7th graders go on to higher level math classes in middle school
• Homeroom students are often placed in higher level math courses
• Accelerated students are often placed in Advanced 7th Grade Math, Algebra, or Geometry
• Capturing early interest and providing an enthusiastic math learning environment has often sparked a passion for math that carries on long into a student’s future including middle school, high school, college, and career!

Our Annual Goal and How We Achieve It

• We are currently fundraising for the 2019/2020 school year and we need to raise nearly $60,000.
