Summary

Kettering Fairmont High School is a grades 9–12 public high school serving 2,445 students in Kettering, Ohio, as part of the Kettering City School District. It is by far the largest school in the area — more than twice the size of West Carrollton High School (846 students) and Oakwood High School (656). The district ranks 179 of 773 statewide (77th percentile, 4 stars), but the high school's own 2025–2026 rank is 332 of 795 (58th percentile, 3 stars). That reflects a long slide: in 2015–2016 Fairmont sat at the 85th percentile with 4 stars, and the steepest decline came after 2021–2022.

Test scores are above the Ohio average in six of seven End-of-Course subjects, including 81.5% proficient in American Government and 82.3% in American History. The glaring exception is Integrated Math II, where only 7.4% of students scored proficient versus 35.3% statewide — and the district's similar 7.9% suggests a broader course or placement issue rather than a Fairmont-only problem. Among nearby schools, Oakwood High School outranks Fairmont across the board (12th statewide, 5 stars, roughly 88–99% proficiency). Stivers School For The Arts and Dayton Early College Academy Inc sit near Fairmont in overall rank but beat it in the humanities, while Fairmont is stronger in Geometry and Algebra I.

Graduation is a clear strength at 96.4%, second only to Oakwood among nearby schools. The bigger warning sign is chronic absenteeism, which has risen five years straight — from 16.9% in 2021–2022 to 23.3% in 2025–2026 — and now runs well above the district's 16.4%. Subgroup results are uneven: Hispanic, Special Education, female, multiracial, gifted, and African American students rank above the school's overall percentile, while male, white, low-income, English Language Learner, and Asian students rank below it. Percentiles for English Language Learner and low-income students have fallen in recent years, alongside a rising free/reduced lunch rate of 44.91% in 2024–2025.
