Summary:
ZIP code 45118 covers Fayetteville, Ohio, and has three public schools serving grades K–12: Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School (K–5), Fayetteville-Perry Middle School (6–8), and Fayetteville-Perry High School (9–12), all in Fayetteville-Perry Local. Together they enroll 712 students, and the district ranks 397 of 773 schools, 49th percentile, 2 stars, so it is mid-pack overall—but the individual schools have very different strengths.
The middle school is the academic standout. It has earned 3 stars in all three years shown and reached 66th percentile in 2025–2026, with especially strong math: 73.8% proficient in 6th-grade math vs. state 56.2%, 72.2% in 7th-grade math vs. 48.6%, and 76.5% in Algebra I vs. state 61.6% and district 64.0%. That is notable because it also reports 98.16% free/reduced lunch and the highest chronic absenteeism in the group at 14.6%. The high school has a split profile: 100.0% graduation and strong English II (74.6% vs. 62.7%) and Biology (77.6% vs. 67.0%), but Algebra I is 57.6% vs. 61.6%, Geometry is 46.4% vs. 43.3%, and American Government fell to 62.3% vs. 71.6%. Its rank declined from 63rd to 44th percentile over three years.
The elementary school’s brightest spot is 5th grade: math 71.0% vs. state 59.1%, ELA 75.8% vs. 70.4%, and science 62.9% vs. 62.7%. But 3rd- and 4th-grade ELA and 4th-grade math are below state, and its rank slipped from 55th to the mid-40s. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 10.6% vs. district 11.9%; the high school is 12.0%, and the middle school is 14.6%. Algebra I shows a wide district split: middle 76.5%, district 64.0%, high 57.6%. The high school’s free/reduced lunch rate is not reported, and spending data is from 2018–2019. Bottom line: the middle school is gaining momentum, the high school has strong graduation and English/Biology but uneven math, and the elementary school has a strong 5th grade but weaker early grades.
