Summary

Fairborn High School is a public 9–12 school in Fairborn, Ohio, serving 1,027 students as part of the Fairborn City district, which ranks 476th of 773 districts statewide (38th percentile, 2 stars). The school itself ranks 484th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (39th percentile, 2 stars), and its rank history is remarkably stable — mostly between the 34th and 46th percentile since 2015–2016. Fairborn serves a relatively high-poverty population: 70.39% of students received free/reduced lunch in 2023–2024 (the 2024–2025 figure is not reported), and per-pupil spending was $8,885 in 2018–2019, lower than most nearby schools.

Academically, the picture splits. Social studies and English are clear strengths: in 2025–2026, American Government (80.5) and American History (78.9) were above the state and third among nearby schools, behind only Beavercreek High School and Yellow Springs Middle & High School, and English II (68.8) also beat the state. Math is the weakness. Geometry (40.9) is just below state, Algebra I (53.0) trails both district and state, and Integrated Math II is extremely low at 2.8% versus 35.3% statewide — though Beavercreek (4.8%) and Xenia High School (0%) also report very low results, suggesting a course-specific pattern rather than a Fairborn-only issue.

Graduation and attendance are improving but still behind top neighbors. The 2025–2026 graduation rate is 91.6%, up from 87.3% in 2022–2023, but below Beavercreek, Yellow Springs, Tecumseh High School, and Greenon High School. Chronic absenteeism fell from 52.3% in 2021–2022 to 35.2% in 2025–2026, yet remains above the district's 26.6% and above Beavercreek, Greenon, and Yellow Springs. Subgroup results show real strengths: gifted students rank 22nd of 283 (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and low-income students 65th percentile, both above the school's overall 39th percentile. Fairborn also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8, lower than every named nearby high school.
