Summary:

Fairfield Community Schools is an Indiana district with four schools—three K–6 elementaries and one 7–12 junior-senior high—serving 2,209 students, and it ranks 78 of 374 districts in Indiana, in the 79th percentile with 4 stars. The district includes Fairfield Junior-Senior High School (944 students), New Paris Elementary School (488), Benton Elementary School (481), and Millersburg Elementary School (296). Overall, it is a strong district, but school performance varies.

For elementary families, Benton Elementary School is the strongest overall: it ranks 162 of 1,015, in the 84th percentile with 4 stars, and leads the district in all-grade ELA (53.52%), math (67.25%), and science (49.32%). New Paris Elementary School is the math standout, ranking 199 of 1,015, in the 80th percentile with 4 stars; its all-grade math is 70.28%, with 4th-grade math at 80%, 3rd-grade math at 78.38%, and 5th-grade math at 72.46%. Fairfield Junior-Senior High School also earns 4 stars and ranks 97 of 415, with a 99.2% graduation rate (vs. 89.7% statewide), SAT EBRW at 61.87% (vs. 51.9% state), and SAT Math at 30.94% (vs. 25.6% state). Its ILEARN all-grade ELA (38.29%) and math (40.57%) are below district averages, so junior-high ELA is an area to watch.

Millersburg Elementary School is the main school to watch: it is the only school below 4 stars (3 stars), ranks 458 of 1,015 (55th percentile), and has declined from 4 stars in 2023–24. Its all-grade ELA (35.82%), math (51.49%), and science (31.75%) trail the district, and 6th-grade ELA (22.22%) and science (19.44%) are low, although 5th-grade social studies (61.29%) and 3rd-grade math (60%) are bright spots. Chronic absenteeism is below the state’s 16.7% at every school, with New Paris Elementary School (6.8%) and Millersburg Elementary School (6.9%) especially low. Spending and student-teacher ratios do not line up neatly with outcomes: Millersburg Elementary School has the highest spending ($11,485) and lowest ratio (15), while Benton Elementary School has the lowest spending ($9,320) and highest ratio (19.1), yet Benton Elementary School ranks highest among elementaries.
