Summary:
Fairfield Preparatory Academy is the only school in this area — a single elementary campus serving grades K–7 with 173 students at 2470 Princeton Rd, Fairfield Township, OH 45011. The area includes 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools and 0 high schools, so families have one local option and no other school to compare against. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.4.
Academically, third grade English language arts is the clearest strength: 64.7 versus the state's 63.4 in 2025–2026 and 66.7 versus 61.3 in 2024–2025. Fifth grade science (62.5 vs 62.7) and fifth grade ELA (68.8 vs 70.4) were close to state averages. Math, however, was below the state average in every tested grade in both years — from −6.2 points in 6th grade to −18.3 points in 3rd grade in 2025–2026, with a math average of 49.4 against the state's 61.2. Fourth grade stands out as a concern: 4th grade ELA was 38.5 against the state's 61.8 (−23.3) in 2025–2026, and 4th grade math was 42.9 against 69.1 (−26.2) in 2024–2025.
Chronic absenteeism was 52.2% in 2025–2026, meaning more than half of students missed enough school to be chronically absent — a significant engagement concern. Rankings are in the lower range: the summary rank shows 551 of 773 schools (29th percentile, 1 star), while year-by-year rank history shows about 1,000 of 1,560 schools (36th percentile, 2 stars), a slight improvement from 35th percentile the prior year. Because enrollment is small, a few students can shift a grade's proficiency by several points, so year-to-year swings should be read with caution.
