Summary

Fairfield High School is a public high school serving 523 students in grades 9-12 in Fairfield, Texas. The school is part of the Fairfield Independent School District, which is ranked 546 out of 961 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fairfield High School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.6% to 94.9% over the past few years, which are higher than the state average. The school also has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.6% to 1.4%, lower than the state average. However, the school's performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams is mixed compared to the state and district averages, with strong performance in some subjects, such as English I and II Reading, but lagging behind in others, like Algebra I and U.S. History. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Gifted and Talented students ranking in the top 25% of Texas high schools, but English Language Learners and Special Education students ranking in the bottom 25%.

When compared to nearby high schools, Mexia High School and Oakwood High School, Fairfield High School generally performs better. However, it lags behind Cayuga High School and Wortham High School in several academic metrics. Additionally, Fairfield High School's performance has declined over the past few years, as evidenced by its drop in statewide rankings from a high of 119 out of 1,743 Texas high schools in 2014-2015 to 833 out of 1,987 in 2023-2024, which is concerning and warrants further investigation.
