Fairport Harbor Exempted Village

Fairport Harbor Exempted Village is a small Ohio district with two schools serving K–12: Mckinley Elementary School for grades K–5 (239 students) and Fairport Harding High School for grades 6–12 (291 students). The district’s overall rank is 607 of 773 (21st percentile, 1 star). The high school includes middle grades because there is no standalone middle school. Data include rank history, 2025–26 absenteeism and graduation rates, test scores for 2024–25 and 2025–26, student-teacher ratio for 2024–25, and per-student spending for 2018–19; free/reduced lunch is blank for 2024–25.

The two schools are moving in opposite directions. The elementary school’s latest rank is 1037 of 1560 (34th percentile, 2 stars), up from the 25th percentile, and its simple average proficiency rose from 43.7% to 52.9%. The high school’s latest rank is 616 of 795 (23rd percentile, 1 star), down from the 45th percentile, with average proficiency falling from 50.1% to 44.4%. The high school’s graduation rate is strong at 96.4% (district 96.6%), but chronic absenteeism is a serious concern: 41.9% at the high school, 20.5% at the elementary, and 31.9% districtwide. The elementary also has a lower student-teacher ratio (14.0 vs. 17.1) and higher per-student spending ($9,945 vs. $9,008 in 2018–19), though these are not current-year figures and do not prove cause.

Both schools remain below state averages in most tested subjects. The largest gaps are high school Science 8 (23.1% vs. 61.2%), elementary Mathematics 5 (29.7% vs. 59.1%), high school Mathematics 8 (28.2% vs. 52.0%), and high school Mathematics 7 (25.7% vs. 48.6%). Bright spots include elementary ELA 3 (70.3% vs. 63.4%), elementary Mathematics 3 (64.9% vs. 62.1%), high school American Government EOC (77.8% vs. 71.6%), and ELA 7 (65.7% vs. 62.7%). High school EOC scores are volatile: American History fell from 88.9% to 63.6%, Biology from 78.9% to 51.2%, and English II from 75% to 47.7%; Algebra I improved from 19% to 45.9% but still trails the state. The high school’s 6–12 span mixes middle and high school results, and socioeconomic context is unavailable for 2024–25.
