Summary:
Fairfield Community H S District 225 has one school, Fairfield Community High School, serving grades 9–12 with 444 students. In 2025–2026, all nine reported test results were below Illinois averages, with the school averaging 39% proficient compared with 47% statewide—a 9-point gap.
There is no top or bottom school within the district: its only school is Fairfield Community High School. Its clearest relative strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 20%, compared with 24% statewide, a 3-point lower rate. Math is the largest academic concern; all three results trailed state figures by 9 to 14 points, including grade 11 ACT math at 26% versus 40%. ELA was the closest subject to state results, with an average gap of 6 points, while science averaged 10 points below. Graduation was 86%, compared with 90% statewide, a 4-point gap.
Results fell in every matched test comparison from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while state results were steadier and included gains in some math results. The largest local drops were 12 points in grade 9 ELA and 11 points in grade 11 science; these changes describe the results but do not explain their cause. SchoolDigger’s ranking also declined, from the 63rd percentile and 3 stars in 2024–2025 to the 33rd percentile and 2 stars in 2025–2026. For context, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 15.2 in 2024–2025, and 38% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
