Best Public Schools in Zip Code 45324

The 45324 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a public charter virtual school). While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, the overall performance of the Fairborn City school district is concerning, with the district ranked 507 out of 835 in Ohio and rated only 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the area is Fairborn High School, which has relatively strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates on Ohio state tests across multiple subjects and a 87.3% four-year graduation rate. Another high performer is Baker Middle School, which stands out for its exceptional 97% proficiency rate on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the schools, particularly in math proficiency. Additionally, high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 0.9% at Fairborn Digital Academy to 41.5% at Baker Middle School, are a concern and may be impacting academic outcomes. The Fairborn Digital Academy charter school, in particular, struggles with a very low 4-year graduation rate of 42.6% and significantly lower proficiency rates on state tests compared to the state averages.
