Fairless Local

Fairless Local is a three-school Ohio district serving about 1,233 students across an elementary (K–5), a middle school (5–8), and a high school (9–12), and it currently ranks 426th of 773 Ohio districts, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars.

At the school level, Fairless Elementary School is the largest and most consistent school, with 613 students, 3 stars, a 57th-percentile rank, and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 15.4% — below the district’s 20.8%. Its 2025–26 results beat state averages in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade math, 3rd grade ELA, and 5th grade science, with only 5th grade ELA essentially at the state level (69.7% vs. 70.4%). Fairless Middle School also earns 3 stars and a 56th-percentile rank, and posts the single most striking result in the data: Algebra I at 96.2% proficient versus 61.6% statewide, though this likely reflects an advanced group. Its 7th grade ELA (73.4%) and 8th grade math (60.2%) are strong, but 6th grade ELA is a clear weak spot at 44.3%, 11.7 points below state, and absenteeism is the district’s highest at 28.3%.

Fairless High School has a 98.1% graduation rate but ranks lowest locally at the 34th percentile with 2 stars, and its percentile has slipped from 47th to 41st to 34th over three years. Math and science are the main concerns: Geometry is 30.9% versus 43.3% statewide — the lowest score in the data set — while Algebra I is 50% and Biology 63.9%, both below state. Absenteeism is 25.1%, above the district rate. In short, the elementary and middle schools rank above the district average, while the high school pulls the district’s overall profile down.
