Summary

Fairless Elementary School is a K–5 school in Navarre, Ohio, serving 613 students as part of Fairless Local, making it the largest elementary school in this nearby comparison group.

In 2025–2026, Fairless Elementary School ranked 674th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 57th percentile, with 3 stars. That is above the state midpoint and above its own district, Fairless Local, which ranks 426th of 773 districts at the 45th percentile with 2 stars. Locally, though, Fairless trails every nearby school with a current rank: Southway Elementary School (67th percentile), Strasburg-Franklin Elementary School (66th), Tuslaw Elementary School (73rd), Dalton Elementary School (80th), Winesburg Elementary School (81st), Watson Elementary School (84th), Lohr Elementary School (88th), and Dundee Elementary School (89th). The school has ranked higher before — the 71st percentile in 2021–2022 and 73rd in 2015–2016 — so it is above average statewide but below its own best years.

Math and science are clear strengths: 4th-grade math at 76.7% (9.4 points above the state), 3rd-grade math at 67.0%, 5th-grade math at 66.1%, and 5th-grade science at 67.0%. Reading is more uneven. Third-grade ELA is strong at 71.1%, but 4th-grade ELA (62.1%) is only 0.3 points above the state and is the lowest reported in this comparison group, while 5th-grade ELA (69.7%) is slightly below the state average. Chronic absenteeism is 15.4%, better than the district's 20.8% but far higher than Dalton Elementary School (3.2%), Strasburg-Franklin Elementary School (3.6%), Dundee Elementary School (5.7%), Tuslaw Elementary School (7.7%), Watson Elementary School (8.2%), and Lohr Elementary School (8.3%). About half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (49.76%), the student–teacher ratio is 18:1, and reported spending was $7,997 per student in 2018–2019, lower than most nearby schools. Effectiveness for special education students has slipped from the 77th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 42nd in 2025–2026, an area worth watching.
