Summary

Fairmoor Elementary School is a public elementary school in Columbus, Ohio, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Columbus City Schools District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Fairmoor Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Ohio elementary schools over the past decade, with a 0-star rating.

Fairmoor Elementary faces significant challenges, particularly with student attendance and academic achievement. The school has had extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 52.6% to 60.6% in recent years, which is much higher than district and state averages. Academically, Fairmoor students perform well below state and district levels on Ohio assessments across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 12.7% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 30.5% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school also struggles to effectively serve its subgroups, ranking in the bottom 40% of Ohio elementary schools for African American students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

Interestingly, the schools closest to Fairmoor Elementary, such as Scottwood Elementary and Broadleigh Elementary, also perform poorly compared to the state, but generally outperform Fairmoor. In contrast, the Bexley City School District, located just a few miles away, has several high-performing elementary schools that consistently rank in the top 10-20% of Ohio. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and improving instructional quality will be critical for Fairmoor to improve student outcomes and move out of the bottom tier of Ohio elementary schools.
