Middle Schools in Fairfield City

The Fairfield City school district in Ohio is home to two middle schools: Creekside Middle School and Crossroads Middle School. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top half of Ohio middle schools, with Crossroads Middle School performing slightly better overall.

Creekside Middle School and Crossroads Middle School both excel in several key areas. Both schools have higher proficiency rates than the state average, particularly in Algebra I and 8th grade Science. Crossroads Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 16.2, compared to 18.2 at Creekside Middle School, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance. However, Creekside Middle School serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 62.98% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 55.28% at Crossroads Middle School.

Despite their overall strong performance, both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding the state average at 20.1%. This is an area that may require further investigation and targeted interventions by the district. Overall, the data suggests that Fairfield City is home to two middle schools that are performing well compared to the state, with some notable strengths and areas for potential improvement.
