Summary:
ZIP code 67583 has one listed school, Fairfield Schools, an alternative school serving pre-K through grade 12 with 268 students. There are no other schools in the list to compare with it. In 2025–26, Fairfield’s all-grades proficiency was below Kansas in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: 35% versus 46% in ELA, 31% versus 41% in math, and 23% versus 38% in science. The clearest overall concern is science, where Fairfield was 16 percentage points below the state.
Within the school, results differ sharply by grade: 7th-grade ELA stands out positively, while 8th-grade results are especially low. Seventh-grade ELA proficiency was 64%, 20 points above Kansas; 8th-grade ELA was 7%, 35 points below the state. Third-grade ELA was also below Kansas, by 7 points. Math shows a similar grade-level split: 7th grade was 2 points above the state (40% versus 38%), while 8th grade was 32 points below (7% versus 40%). Since Fairfield is the only school listed, it cannot be labeled a local school-level leader or trailer.
Results moved in different directions from 2024–25 to 2025–26: Fairfield’s math proficiency rose 5 points, from 26% to 31%, while ELA fell 2 points, from 38% to 35%, and science fell 7 points, from 29% to 23%. Its average gap from Kansas across the three subjects widened from 11 to 12 points, as math improved relative to the state but ELA and science fell further behind. Other measures are more favorable: the 2023–24 graduation rate was 94%, 4 points above Kansas, and 2025–26 chronic absenteeism was 16%, 2 points below the state. Fairfield also reported a 10:1 student–teacher ratio and a 50% free/reduced-lunch rate; these figures describe the school but do not show how it compares with similar schools.
