Summary

Fairmoor Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Columbus, OH, serving 461 students as part of the Columbus City Schools District. In 2025–26 it ranked 1,491st out of 1,560 ranked elementary schools statewide — the 4th percentile, with 0 stars. That places it below even its own district, which ranks 683rd of 773 Ohio districts (12th percentile, 1 star). Fairmoor's rank history shows this is not a one-year dip: across the displayed years, it has never risen above the 8th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is Fairmoor's most striking challenge. In 2025–26, 60.7% of students were chronically absent, compared with 53.8% for the district — and higher than every nearby school reviewed, including Whitehall Preparatory and Fitness Academy (56.7%), Scottwood Elementary School (49.6%), Berwick Alternative K-8 School (49.5%), Broadleigh Elementary School (48.8%), Columbus Africentric Early College Elementary School (47.5%), Beechwood Elementary School (21.8%), and Etna Road Elementary School (20.8%). By contrast, Bexley City schools about a mile away — Cassingham Elementary School (4.0%), Montrose Elementary School (4.3%), and Maryland Elementary School (5.2%) — have far lower rates. Absenteeism improved from 75.3% in 2021–22 to 55.4% in 2024–25, but the rise to 60.7% in 2025–26 shows the issue remains severe.

Academically, 3rd-grade math is Fairmoor's relative bright spot at 34.3%, nearly matching the district's 35.0% and above several nearby schools. But proficiency falls to 24.6% in 4th-grade math and 10.8% in 5th-grade math, and 5th-grade science is just 5.4% — the lowest among nearby schools. Fifth-grade ELA is 26.3%, also the lowest nearby. Subgroup results are low across the board: special education students rank in the 9th percentile, English Language Learner students in the 7th, and low-income students in the 5th. Spending and class size do not clearly explain the gap: Fairmoor spent $11,191 per student in 2018–19 — similar to Scottwood ($11,280) and more than the Whitehall City schools — with a mid-range student-teacher ratio of 19.2 in 2024–25, suggesting attendance and school climate matter more.
