Summary

Fairfield High School in Fairfield, Ohio, is a large comprehensive public high school serving grades 9–12 with 2,255 students in the Cincinnati area as part of the Fairfield City district. In 2025–2026, it ranks 413th of 795 Ohio high schools—48th percentile and 2 stars—just below its district’s 3-star rating but close to the state median. Its rank has climbed steadily from the 25th percentile in 2015–2016 to its best showing in the provided history. Among nearby schools, Fairfield sits just behind Princeton High School (50th percentile, 3 stars) and well ahead of Northwest High School (24th), Winton Woods High School (10th), Lakota Central (9th), and Miami School (2nd), though it remains behind Lakota West High School (77th percentile, 4 stars).

Academically, Fairfield was above the Ohio average in five of six End-of-Course subjects in 2025–2026: American Government 79.1, American History 76.1, Biology 74.1, English II 66.7, and Geometry 44.8. Algebra I is the clear weak spot at 55.4, below Ohio’s 61.6 and the district’s 64.5. Every tested subject improved from the prior year, with major gains in Algebra I (28.0 to 55.4), Biology (60.8 to 74.1), and Geometry (34.3 to 44.8). Fairfield trails Lakota West High School in all six subjects, is close to Princeton High School overall, and beats Northwest High School, Winton Woods High School, and Lakota Central across the board.

The graduation rate is 94.2%, essentially matching the Fairfield City district’s 94.1%, above Winton Woods High School (89.5%), Lakota Central (85.9%), and Miami School (52.8%), but below Princeton High School (97.8%), Northwest High School (95.6%), and Lakota West High School (95.5%). Chronic absenteeism is 28.9%, improved from 38.1% in 2021–2022 and better than most nearby high schools except Princeton, but still above the district’s 19.3%. Fairfield serves a majority economically disadvantaged population—52.73% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025—with a 22.5 student-teacher ratio and older reported spending of $8,325 per student, the lowest among nearby schools with reported spending. Subgroup results are mixed: some groups, including English language learners and students with disabilities, show strong improvement, while gifted and talented students remain a clear opportunity at the 18th percentile.
