Summary

Fairview High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in the suburban community of Fairview Park, Ohio, just west of Cleveland, with 484 students in the Fairview Park City district. Statewide, it ranks 214th of 795 high schools — the 73rd percentile with 4 stars for 2025–2026 — while its district ranks in the 80th percentile with 4 stars. The school has improved a great deal over the past decade, climbing from the 38th percentile with 2 stars in 2016–2017, though its rank eased from 84th percentile in 2024–2025 to 73rd this year.

Academically, Fairview's End of Course proficiency rates beat Ohio's state average in every tested subject. Biology is a standout at 85.3% proficient versus 67.0% statewide, followed by English II (77.8% vs. 62.7%) and Geometry (59.1% vs. 43.3%). Algebra I is the weakest area: 61.8% proficient against a state rate of 61.6%, and below the district's own 75.5%. Against nearby schools, Fairview trails Rocky River High School and Westlake High School in nearly every subject, but generally leads Lakewood High School and North Olmsted High School, and sits well ahead of Bard Early College Cleveland and the Cleveland Municipal schools in this comparison.

Chronic absenteeism is 20.3%, above the district's 12.2% but lower than Westlake, North Olmsted, Lakewood, and the Cleveland schools — only Rocky River does better. The 91.3% graduation rate tops the Cleveland schools but trails several suburban peers and is down from 96.7% in 2023–2024. Fairview spends $11,072 per student, the lowest among nearby schools, yet still outranks several higher-spending schools, and its student-teacher ratio has improved to 18.6. Subgroup results are uneven: special education students rank in the 81st percentile, low-income students in the 63rd, and gifted students in the 39th percentile — a steep drop from the 100th percentile in 2022–2023.
