Summary

Fairbanks Middle School is a 6–8 middle school in Milford Center, Ohio, serving 245 students as part of the small Fairbanks Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 64th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 94th percentile, or top 6% statewide — with 5 stars, while the district ranked 71st of 773 districts (91st percentile, 5 stars). The school has climbed from the 68th percentile in 2016–2017 and has earned 5 stars in each of the last three reported years.

Results are strong across grades and subjects. In 2025–2026, 8th-grade science reached 94.1% proficiency, 8th-grade math 76.8%, 8th-grade ELA 84.9%, and Algebra I 100% — and Algebra I has been 100% for four consecutive reported years. Sixth-grade ELA at 87.0% was the highest among nearby schools with that data, while 8th-grade science was just behind Mechanicsburg Middle School (94.8%). Fairbanks clearly outperforms Hilliard Memorial Middle School in science and math, and it stays close to Dublin's top middle schools even though its free/reduced-lunch rate (21.22%) is several times higher than Dublin's (about 4–10%). Only schools such as Willard Grizzell Middle School (89.8% in 8th math) pull ahead in a few individual measures.

Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 14.2% in 2022–2023 to 7.9% in 2025–2026, below the district's 11.5% and lower than Jonathan Alder Junior High (17.4%) and Bunsold Middle School (16.4%). Subgroup results are broadly strong: female students ranked in the 93rd percentile with 5 stars, male students the 92nd, special education students the 87th, and low-income students the 76th, up from the 67th the prior year. One note for comparisons: some nearby schools serve different grade spans, and Fairbanks's small size can make year-to-year score swings larger than in bigger schools.
