Summary

Fairbanks Elementary School is a K–5 school in Milford Center, Ohio (Union County) serving 444 students as the only elementary in the Fairbanks Local district, which ranks 71st of 773 Ohio districts (91st percentile, 5 stars) — the highest-ranked district among the nearby systems it is compared with, including Dublin City, Mechanicsburg Exempted Village, Marysville Exempted Village, Jonathan Alder Local and Triad Local. The school itself ranks 314th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (80th percentile, 4 stars).

Test results are above the state average in all seven tested areas, averaging about 16 points higher; its 3rd grade ELA result of 87.9% is the best in the comparison group. Chronic absenteeism is 7.9%, second-lowest of the 11 schools compared, behind only Abraham Depp Elementary (7.0%) and ahead of Glacier Ridge Elementary (9.8), Plain City Elementary School (9.0), Northwood Elementary (9.1) and Dohron Wilson Elementary School (9.7). Class size is 17.8 students per teacher — third-lowest of the group and better than the Marysville schools and Triad Elementary School (20.6). About 19.6% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, roughly five times the share at Glacier Ridge (4.11%) and Abraham Depp (3.66%), both of which spend more per pupil.

Two things for parents to watch: the school's statewide percentile has slipped (94th to 86th to 86th to 80th since 2022-23), and some student groups trail — female students rank at the 92nd percentile while male students rank 69th, and special education (57th) and low-income (54th) students score lower. Fourth grade ELA is the persistent soft spot, never exceeding 85% in four years, while 3rd grade ELA is a clear strength.
