Fairfield City School District


The Fairfield City School District is a public school district in Butler County, Ohio, United States. It encompasses most of the city of Fairfield and most of Fairfield Township, as well as small parts of the city of Hamilton. It has a student population of approximately 10,000.

Fairfield City Schools runs 10 schools, ranging from kindergarten through 12th grades. The six elementary schools are separated by geographic delineations. The Middle schools each draw their students from 3 of the elementary schools. Creekside gets students in the geographic districts of South, West and Central Elementaries; Crossroads gets students in the geographic districts of East, North and Compass. The Freshman and High schools draw their students from the entire district. The School District closed their dedicated Kindergarten Center after the 2010-2011 school year. The District moved these classes to 2 of their 6 Elementary Schools. The District has changed their schools around over the years and this is expressed in the chart below:

Fairfield also operates an alternate education academy for students in High School. This academy is located in the former district office building on Donald Drive in the parking lot of the Intermediate (5/6) School. Fairfield Academy as it is now known is a joint venture between Fairfield and Butler Tech. The Options Academy as it was dubbed in its early days was located in "Trailer Row" in the parking lot of Fairfield Creekside Middle School prior to a fire that destroyed it in the winter of 2013.

The former Kindergarten Center located on Bach lane was renovated prior to the 13-14 school year and became the district office.

In May 2014 the district got approval from the state and the county voters to begin work on an 80 million dollar project to improve the schools. This plan included the building of a new elementary school across from the high school, changing all the elementary schools to go to 5th grade instead of 4th, converting Fairfield Crossroads Middle School into 6-8th grades, converting Fairfield Creekside Middle School into 6-8th grades, building of a new Central Elementary School in the parking lot of the current Central and the building of a Freshman High School on the Campus of the Senior High School. This project received $19 million from the state and the rest be funded by a 38-year tax bond of $61 million.
