Summary

Fairfield Junior-Senior High School is a public school in Goshen, Indiana, serving 944 students in grades 7–12 as part of Fairfield Community Schools, a district ranked 78th of 374 Indiana districts. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 97th of 415 Indiana high schools, placing it in the 77th percentile with 4 stars. That is below its peak of 31st of 409 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) in 2021–2022, but it still sits comfortably in the top quarter of Indiana high schools.

Graduation and attendance are the clearest strengths. Fairfield's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 99.2%, well above Indiana's 89.7%; among nearby schools, only Westview Junior-Senior High School was higher at 100.0%, while Jimtown High School (94.6%), Concord Community High School (93.2%), Goshen High School (89.4%), and Wawasee High School (86.0%) trailed. Chronic absenteeism fell from 30.1% in 2021–2022 to 12.3% in 2024–2025, better than the state's 16.7%. On the 2025–2026 SAT, 61.87% of 11th graders were proficient in reading and writing and 30.94% in math — both above state rates of 51.9% and 25.6%. Low-income students also improved sharply, moving from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 72nd in 2025–2026.

The middle-school picture is more mixed. Fairfield's all-grade ILEARN proficiency was 38.29% in English language arts and 40.57% in math, while Westview Junior-Senior High School — the only other nearby school serving grades 7–12 — scored 54.07% and 58.63%. Seventh-grade math was a relative strength at 45.45% (state: 35.9%), but 8th-grade math was 34.97% (state: 34.2%), and reading in both grades fell below state levels. Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 42.77%. Fairfield spends $11,371 per student with a 28.18% free/reduced lunch rate — moderate poverty and mid-range spending that still produce above-state results.

Teacher turnover has been very high since the arrival of the current principal 3 years ago. The administration is not in tune with the teachers or students. They have their own agenda and it doesn't include putting the students first. The morale of the teachers is extremely low. Close Quote

I'm a former student of Fairfield Jr/Sr High School. I give Fairfield one star for one giant reason: Christianity. This is a Christian school. There is no separation between church and state in Fairfield. I swear, they sometimes have worship services in the cafeteria. I've actually thought of contacting an official about this to get Fairfield's funding cut. If you're an atheist, don't go to this school. You'll be hung up on a cross to die. If you're a goody-goody Christian who has never sworn before, by all means, Fairfield is perfect for you. If you're open-minded, this place could be a disaster. Lately, Fairfield has also undergone a massive breach in the fourth amendment, doing dog searches and suspending students for having cigarettes in their cars (even if they're 18). It's slowly becoming a prison. Perfect for Christians, bad for smart people. No extracurriculars, but there are some good teachers. Close Quote
