Summary:
The city of Fayetteville, Ohio is home to three public schools serving grades K-12: Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School, Fayetteville-Perry High School, and Fayetteville-Perry Middle School. These schools, part of the Fayetteville-Perry Local District, demonstrate a range of academic performance, with the elementary school standing out as a top performer in the region.
Fayetteville-Perry Elementary School is the clear standout, with consistently high test scores that exceed the state average, particularly in 5th-grade science and math. The school also boasts a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate compared to the high school. In contrast, Fayetteville-Perry High School, while still performing above the state average, has room for improvement, though it has shown steady progress in its state-wide ranking over the past few years, moving from 474 out of 836 Ohio high schools in 2021-2022 to 323 out of 864 in 2023-2024.
Across the district, the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 43.75% at the elementary school to 74.24% at the middle school, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The district's ability to address the needs of these students and continue to build on the academic success of the elementary school will be crucial in ensuring the overall success of the Fayetteville-Perry school system.
