Best Public Schools in Zip Code 45430

ZIP code 45430 in Ohio is home to two public schools — Fairbrook Elementary School (grades K–5, 547 students) and Herman K Ankeney Middle School (grades 6–8, 799 students) — both in the Beavercreek City district, which serves about 1,346 students in the ZIP and has no high school, so older students attend school elsewhere.

Both schools are strong compared with Ohio as a whole: every reported test score at both schools beat the state average. Families comparing the two should note that Fairbrook Elementary School is the stronger all-around school relative to its district, ranking at the 86th percentile in 2025–2026 with chronic absenteeism of only 8.6%, well below the district's 12.7%. Its 5th grade results were exceptional — 92.5% proficient in math, 90.6% in English language arts, and 86.8% in science — though 4th grade math fell from 93.5% to 75.8%, still above the state but below the district's 84.8%.

Herman K Ankeney Middle School shows a split profile: outstanding advanced math, with Geometry End-of-Course at 100% and Algebra I at 98.9% proficient, far above district and state levels, and 8th grade math improving from 48.1% to 64.9%. At the same time, its general grade-level scores in science, math, and English language arts were below district averages in 2025–2026 (though above state averages), and its chronic absenteeism of 14.7% is above the district's 12.7% and 6.1 percentage points higher than Fairbrook's. Note that End-of-Course results may reflect a subset of students, and year-to-year comparisons reflect different cohorts, not individual growth.
