Original Research by School Decision on Fairbrook Elementary School
Fairbrook Elementary School is a regular public school serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Beavercreek, a suburban city east of Dayton. The school enrolls students across six grade levels, with a student body that is predominantly white and drawn from middle-class suburban neighborhoods where homeownership is common. The school's peer group includes substantial shares of students of color—about one in eleven students identifies as Hispanic, and students from Asian, Black, and multiracial backgrounds each represent a smaller but present segment of the enrollment.
On state assessments, Fairbrook's students demonstrate solid performance. In the most recent testing data, more than four in five students scored at proficient or above levels in both English language arts and mathematics. Science proficiency ran slightly lower, with about four in five students meeting proficiency benchmarks. The school's overall proficiency index places it in the top quartile among elementary schools within Greene County, positioning it as one of the stronger performers in the county's school districts.
One-fifth of Fairbrook's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a share that reflects the broader middle-income character of Beavercreek, where housing values cluster around the county median and many families work in professional fields or in firms tied to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The school sits within a larger district that has faced significant facility pressure. Beavercreek City Schools has twice rejected bond measures—in November 2024 and May 2025—that would have funded a new high school and reconfigured grades across the district. The district currently rents portable classrooms to manage enrollment growth, a constraint that may eventually affect elementary schools as well. At the same time, voters approved the renewal of the district's primary operating levy in late 2025, securing funding for ongoing operations and courses through 2032.
Beavercreek itself is a car-dependent suburban city with no traditional downtown, where most errands and activities require driving. Parks and shopping centers are distributed throughout the city, and schools sit on separate campuses rather than embedded in town centers. The community is in sustained growth, with multiple large subdivision approvals for single-family homes underway, which will likely keep enrollment climbing. The city is well positioned economically, with research and manufacturing employment, healthcare networks, and credit unions anchoring the local job base.
For a family considering Fairbrook, the school offers solid academic performance and a middle-class suburban environment. The main consideration is the district's ongoing facility pressure and uncertainty about when capital improvements will be funded. Parents may want to discuss current conditions with the school directly, particularly regarding class sizes and whether portable classrooms affect any grade levels at the elementary level.
