Fairmont ranked 505 of 1015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026—50th percentile, 3 stars. That is a real rebound from 2024–2025, when it ranked 673 of 1005, 33rd percentile, 2 stars, and it is the school's best result since 2016–2017. Still, it sits below its own district, which ranks 102 of 374, 73rd percentile, 4 stars. Among nearby same-district schools, Floyds Knobs Elementary School (95th percentile) and Grant Line Elementary School (80th) rank well above Fairmont, while Slate Run Elementary School (56th), Mount Tabor Elementary School (51st), and Green Valley Elementary School (51st) are close, and S Ellen Jones Elementary School (29th) is lower.

Fourth grade lags: ELA 36.36%, math 37.31%, and science 24.24%, all below district and state. Science is the clearest weakness and has stayed low for years (26.83% in 2022–2023, 25.81% in 2024–2025, 24.24% in 2025–2026).
