Summary

Lewis F Mayer Middle School is a 6–8 school with 314 students in Fairview Park, Ohio, a Cuyahoga County suburb, and the only middle school in the Fairview Park City district, so its results largely mirror the district's. It ranks 211th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 80th percentile, 4 stars — the same percentile as its district. The decade-long climb is the headline: from the 53rd percentile in 2015-16 to a peak of 87th in 2022-23, with 4 stars for five straight years.

On tests, Mayer beats Ohio in all eight tested areas, usually by double digits: Algebra I reaches 97.6% proficiency after three straight years at 100%, and 6th-grade English language arts hits 81%. It also has the smallest classes locally — 11.2 students per teacher in 2024-25, down from 16.3 two years earlier — roughly half the ratio at North Olmsted Middle School (19.1) and Constellation Westpark (21.2), and leaner than Bay Middle School (14.3) or Rocky River Middle School (13.2). Spending is modest at $10,269 per student (2018-19). Among neighbors, Mayer trails Rocky River, Bay, Harding Middle School and Lee Burneson Middle School but leads Garfield Middle School, Berea-Midpark Middle School, North Olmsted Middle School and the two Constellation charters.

What to watch: with only about 100 students per grade, one cohort can swing results — 7th-grade math dropped about 20 points to 61.3% and ELA 7 slipped to 69.7%, though both still beat the state. Growth has plateaued, easing from the 87th percentile to 80th over three years. Gifted and talented students now rank at the 53rd percentile, down from 78th, suggesting the school raises the floor more than it stretches its top students. Chronic absenteeism improved to 14.2% but is now above the district's 12.2% (still far better than Berea-Midpark's 24.2%). Students with disabilities rank at the 85th percentile and low-income students at the 75th — at or above the school's overall mark.
