Summary

Fayette Elementary School is a small public school in Fayette, OH, serving 219 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Fayette Local district. It is the smallest school in its nearby comparison group, and its 2025–2026 overall rank was 48th percentile (2 stars), the lowest among nearby schools with reported ranks. Its rank has fluctuated over the past decade and fell from 61st percentile (3 stars) in 2024–2025 to 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2025–2026. Its district rank is lower, at 35th percentile, so the elementary school appears to be a relative bright spot within the district.

Test results are highly uneven by grade. Fifth grade is a standout: 91.7% proficient in ELA versus 70.4% statewide, with only Hilltop Elementary School higher nearby; 66.7% in math and 66.7% in science, both above state averages. But third grade ELA is 44.4% versus 63.4% state, and third grade math is 51.9% versus 62.1% state, both the lowest among nearby schools. Fourth grade math is 60.9% versus 67.3% state, also below nearby schools, while fourth grade ELA is 65.2%, slightly above state. The school’s average across tested grades is about 63.9%, nearly matching the state’s 63.8%, but that hides a wide spread from 44.4% to 91.7%. The low-socioeconomic-status subgroup is a bright spot, ranking 66th percentile (3 stars), above the school overall.

Chronic absenteeism is a clear concern: the school rate rose from 8.2% in 2024–2025 to 14.0% in 2025–2026, while the district rate reached 19.0%, the highest among nearby districts. Only North Central Elementary School had a higher school-level rate nearby, at 15.2%. Resources are relatively favorable—per-student spending was $10,901 in 2018–2019, second highest nearby, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.9 in 2024–2025, lower than most nearby schools—but outcomes are not top-tier. With 219 students, small cohorts make results volatile. Local high performers include Evergreen Elementary School, Archbold Elementary School, and Pettisville Elementary School, all at 85th–93rd percentiles, while Fayette sits closer to Delta Elementary School and North Central Elementary School in the lower local tier.
