Summary:
Fairborn City, Ohio is home to a single high school — Fairborn High School — which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,027 students as part of the Fairborn City district. Because it is the only high school in the area, parents have no local alternative to weigh it against, so the most useful comparisons are to the district's own averages, to Ohio statewide results, and to the school's own year-over-year trends. It currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks 484 of 795 schools (39th percentile) for 2025–26, while the district ranks 476 of 773 (38th percentile, also 2 stars).
The school's clearest strengths are in social studies and English. In 2025–26, 80.5% of students were proficient in American Government (state: 71.6%), 78.9% in American History (state: 73.2%), and 68.8% in English II (state: 62.7%) — with English II up 4.5 points from the prior year. The graduation rate is 91.6%, essentially matching the district's 91.9%, so most students are completing high school. Even so, in 2025–26 the school sat slightly below its own district in most tested subjects, particularly Algebra I and Geometry, meaning the district as a whole improved a bit faster in several areas.
The biggest concerns are math and attendance. Integrated Math II proficiency is just 2.8% versus Ohio's 35.3%, but the district's 2.7% shows this is a district-wide issue rather than a single-school one. Algebra I is a more school-specific weakness at 53.0%, below the district's 60.7% and the state's 61.6%, and Geometry is 40.9%. Chronic absenteeism is 35.2% — roughly one in three students — compared with 26.6% district-wide. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so it should not be read as zero or as a weakness, and the per-student spending figure dates to 2018–19.
