Summary

Fairfield High School is a public high school located in Fairfield, Ohio, serving 2,216 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Fairfield City School District, which is ranked 383 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairfield High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, ranking between 545-602 out of 800-867 schools over the past 10 years. Its SchoolDigger rating has also remained low, at 1-2 stars out of 5 for most of this period, with a brief improvement to 3 stars in 2014-2015. The school's four-year graduation rates have been relatively strong, ranging from 92.3% to 95.3% over the past few years, which is comparable to or slightly higher than the state average. However, Fairfield High School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.1% to 34.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Fairfield High School's performance is generally weaker than the nearby high schools, such as Princeton High School, Ross High School, and Lakota West High School, which have higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This may be due in part to the relatively high percentage of students (over 50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Fairfield High School, which is a proxy for low socioeconomic status.
