Welcome to the Fairborn City
School district, home of the Skyhawks! Fairborn has 17 national
board certified teachers; more than any other district in the Miami Valley. We have renovated our
high school and middle school science labs and they are the best in the area. We have strong special
education programs and gifted programs. Our academic teams at the middle/high school are
highly competitive and we have an outstanding JROTC program at Fairborn High School with
academy appointments and millions of dollars in scholarships awarded each year. Fairborn High
School is rated "Effective" on the Ohio Department of Education report card and our other buildings
are rated "Continuous Improvement." We continue to strive for academic excellence that will
prepare all of our students for success. You can also visit the Fairborn City Schools' Web site at

We welcome you and your children to the
Mad River School District. Our school district
is a member of the National Association of
Federally Impacted Schools (NAFIS) and the
Military Impacted Schools Association
(MISA). Children from our military families
and all families in transition need our best
efforts to make the most of their education.
Mad River is a diverse, multicultural, innovative
school district with a state and national
reputation for continuous school improvement.
Over the past several years, scores on state and
national tests have improved steadily due to
strong teacher, administrator, Board of Education
support, and community collaboration.
We are justifiably proud of our school system.
All seven of our schools are brand new,
state-of-the-art facilities. Our school district is
comprised of four elementary schools, two
middle schools, and one high school. It is Mad
River’s goal to develop the uniqueness of each
child by providing a variety of activities within
the school day. Exposure to a rich and varied
curriculum encourages children to grow and
develop as well-rounded individuals. Mad
River offers an outstanding preschool program
and Special Education curriculum designed to
meet the needs of students with disabilities.
We have made a concerted effort to hire the
best teachers, principals, and support staff possible
and have kept our workforce current with
best practices through excellent training programs.
We stand ready to make this the best
school district for all students.
