Summary:
ZIP code 43112 contains two high schools enrolling a combined 1,220 students: Bloom-Carroll High School, a comprehensive public high school in the Bloom-Carroll Local district serving grades 9–12 with 697 students, and Fairfield Career Center, a career and technical school in the Eastland-Fairfield Career & Technical Schools district serving grades 11–12 with 523 students.
Bloom-Carroll High School posts strong results in humanities and biology, outperforming the state in American History (89.6% proficient vs. 73.2%), English II (78.3% vs. 62.7%), American Government (83% vs. 71.6%), and Biology (76.4% vs. 67%). Math is the clear weak spot: Geometry proficiency is 31.4% against 43.3% statewide — a gap of 11.9 points — and Algebra I is 58% versus 61.6% at the state level. Geometry also dropped 11.5 points from the prior year. The graduation rate is a strength at 98.5%, while chronic absenteeism is 11.7%, slightly above the district's 10.1%. The school's state ranking has slipped from the 78th percentile in 2023-24 to the 68th in 2024-25 and the 59th in 2025-26, with stars falling from 4 to 3.
Fairfield Career Center stands out for a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, compared with 23.5 at Bloom-Carroll High School — roughly 40% fewer students per teacher. However, it reports no test scores, graduation rate, absenteeism, spending, or ranking data, and its free/reduced-lunch figure is blank; treat that as unknown rather than 0%. Because of these gaps, families cannot compare the two schools academically from the available data, and Fairfield's profile should be weighed on its career and technical mission and class size rather than on outcomes not reported here.
