Summary:
Fayetteville-Perry Local is a small Ohio district of three schools — one elementary (K–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12), with no alternative school — enrolling about 712 students total and ranked 397th of 773 in the state (49th percentile, 2 stars). Enrollment is concentrated at Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School with 345 students (about 48.5%), followed by Fayetteville-Perry High School with 204 (28.7%) and Fayetteville-Perry Middle School with 163 (22.9%). Class sizes are modest, ranging from a student/teacher ratio of 17.2 at the elementary school down to 14.5 at the high school, and per-student spending from 2018–2019 was similar across all three ($8,935–$9,219).
Fayetteville-Perry Middle School is the clear standout in Fayetteville-Perry Local. It is the only school with a rising rank trend — 57th percentile in 2023–24 to 66th percentile in 2025–26 — and it scored above the state in 7 of 8 assessments, including 7th grade math (72.2% vs. 48.6% statewide) and 6th grade math (73.8% vs. 56.2%). It also posted the district's strongest Algebra I result at 76.5%, well above the state's 61.6%. Notably, it also has the highest chronic absenteeism (14.6% vs. the district's 11.9%) and the highest reported free/reduced lunch rate (98.16%), so its academic results stand out even more.
Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School is strong in 5th grade — math 71.0%, ELA 75.8%, science 62.9% — but lags the state in 3rd and 4th grade reading and 4th grade math. It has the lowest absenteeism at 10.6%. Fayetteville-Perry High School reported a 100.0% graduation rate, with biology and English II above state; however, American Government (62.3%) and Algebra I (57.6%) fell below state, and its rank percentile has slipped from 63% to 44%. Note that spending figures are from 2018–2019, the high school's free/reduced lunch rate was not reported, and small cohorts can make year-to-year swings look dramatic.
