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 relatively diverse student population, their academic performance varies significantly.

The standout school in the area is Fairborn High School, which has a strong 90.8% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state and district averages on several end-of-course state tests. In contrast, the Fairborn Digital Academy, a public charter virtual high school, has a very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.3% but lags behind the state averages on academic proficiency, with most subject areas well below 50%.

The schools in the Fairborn City School District face broader systemic challenges, as all are ranked in the bottom half of Ohio schools by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district may need to address issues such as student engagement and attendance, which are reflected in the high chronic absenteeism rates at some schools, like Fairborn High School (39.6%) and Baker Middle School (35.1%).
