About East Fairview School

East Fairview School is a small, rural middle school located on County Road 160 in Millersburg, Ohio. Serving students from first through eighth grade, the school has an enrollment of just 34 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of 17 to 1. With only two full-time equivalent teachers, East Fairview School offers personalized attention that can be hard to find in larger schools.

While the MySchoolScout rating is modest at 6.1 out of 10 and its state ranking places it in the 14th percentile among Ohio schools, these metrics don't capture the supportive community atmosphere that defines East Fairview. The school's small size allows for strong relationships between teachers and students, fostering a nurturing environment where every child can feel seen and supported. East Fairview School is nestled in a quiet rural setting, providing a peaceful backdrop for learning.

For families looking for a close-knit educational experience with dedicated educators, this charming rural school offers a unique opportunity to thrive.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 34 students, East Fairview School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

As a private school, East Fairview School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.

Located in a rural area, East Fairview School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
