Kettering Fairmont High School

Summary:

Kettering Fairmont High School is a public high school serving 2,486 students in grades 9-12 in Kettering, Ohio. The school is part of the Kettering City School District, which is ranked 157 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kettering Fairmont High School consistently performs above the state average on Ohio State Tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 62.5% to 85% across various subjects. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.7% to 95.6% over the past five years, outperforming the state average. Kettering Fairmont High School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 79.81% White, 5.87% African American, 5.63% Hispanic, 1.57% Asian, and 6.92% two or more races. The school excels in supporting English Language Learners (ELL) and Gifted and Talented students, ranking among the top 10% and top 26% of Ohio high schools, respectively, in these categories.

However, the school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 7.3% in 2019-2020 to 18.2% in 2023-2024, which is a concerning trend. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 32.42% in 2022-2023, suggesting a relatively affluent student population compared to the state average. The nearby Northmont Online Academy and Miami Valley Ctc Alternative have significantly smaller enrollments and serve different student populations, making direct comparisons challenging. Kettering Fairmont High School has also seen an increase in its student-teacher ratio, from 16.2 in 2020-2021 to 19.2 in 2022-2023, which may impact the quality of individual attention and support provided to students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
