Summary

Fairfield Elementary School is a K–4 school in Pickerington, Ohio, a Columbus-area suburb, serving 502 students as part of Pickerington Local. In 2025–2026 it ranked 762 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, or the 51st percentile with 3 stars — mid-pack statewide, but mid-to-lower among its Pickerington peers. The district ranks 249 of 773 districts, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars.

Fairfield has slipped from a high base. It reached the 84th percentile in 2018–2019 and 77th in 2022–2023, then fell to 70th, 56th, and 51st over the last three reported years. Among same-district neighbors in 2025–2026, Toll Gate Elementary (92nd percentile), Pickerington Elementary School (73rd), Violet Elementary School (66th), and Heritage Elementary School (60th) all rank higher, while Tussing Elementary School is lower at 30th. Against nearby Reynoldsburg City schools, Fairfield is generally stronger than Taylor Road (41st), Slate Ridge (26th), French Run, and Herbert Mills (18th), while Summit Road Elementary sits slightly ahead at the 57th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength: 10.5% at Fairfield versus 18.3% for the district, and above 30% at several nearby Reynoldsburg schools. Test results are uneven. Third-grade math is a bright spot at 73.3% proficient, above both district and state, while fourth-grade math is the weakest area at 62.9%, below both. ELA trails the district in both grades but stays near or above state averages. Several student groups rank above the school's overall 51st percentile, including African American students (77th), low-income students (73rd), and English learners (61st); male and special education students rank at the 46th percentile. The student–teacher ratio improved to 18.0 in 2024–2025 from 25.7 in 2022–2023, and per-student spending was $10,881 in 2018–2019.
