Fairfield Community Schools

The Fairfield Community Schools district in Indiana consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 junior-senior high school. The data analysis reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across the district, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.

Fairfield Junior-Senior High School struggles with Math proficiency, with only 34% of students proficient or better, compared to the district average of 54.46%. The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9%. In contrast, New Paris Elementary and Benton Elementary consistently outperform the district and state averages on ILEARN tests, particularly in Math, with Benton Elementary ranking 135th out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools.

The data also reveals a concerning trend at Millersburg Elementary-Middle School, where student performance declines as they progress through the grades, especially in English Language Arts. This pattern may indicate a need to investigate the factors contributing to the decline in performance. Additionally, the schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as New Paris Elementary, tend to have lower academic performance, suggesting that socioeconomic factors play a role in student achievement within the Fairfield Community Schools district.
