FPLS Achieves Student Success
Fayetteville-Perry Local Schools is committed to ensuring that all students are not only learning academically, but they are becoming kind and generous individuals who will leave our school and go on to do great things! While it is important for our students to be College and Career Ready, it is equally important that they become caring and compassionate citizens who will make a positive impact on our community and the world. Our FPLS staff is committed to meeting the educational and social-emotional needs of our students.
Value Added
Our teachers are focused on ensuring the achievement and growth of our students. Achievement is measured with a single test score, and does not always illustrate the hard work of our students throughout the year. However, growth is determined by comparing students against themselves and considers their performance over time. The Ohio Department of Education releases “Value Added” data to evaluate how successful our teachers are at facilitating this growth. This year, our students made expected growth, or more than expected growth, in thirteen tested areas. Congratulations to our teachers and students!
Congratulations to our exceptional educators! FPLS received the Ohio Department of Education's highest Value Added effectiveness ratings for student growth in thirteen tested areas.

Building Highlights
The elementary school has partnered with Dr. Lisa Campbell, Literacy Specialist from the Hamilton County ESC, to roll out a new MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support) program to focus on specific academic and social-emotional needs of all students. Elementary Principal, Aric Fiscus, modified the daily schedule to include a 30 minute Rally Rocket Room where all students will receive either intervention or enrichment, meeting each student’s specific personal need.
The middle school hosted its first Project TRUST camp with the objective of helping students build more positive peer relationships by Teaching Respect Understanding and Student Teamwork. During this three-day experience, students participated in team activities and boundary breaking discussions with high school counselors and adult chaperones. MS Principal, Jim Herron (aka “Maverick”), attended the inaugural camp along with thirty-four of his middle schoolers and was impressed with the positive changes he saw in the students. Our next camp is already in the works for March, and the district plans to continue partnering with Project TRUST for the foreseeable future as this is a great opportunity to foster leadership skills while promoting kindness and acceptance in our students. Mr. Herron would like to thank the adult chaperones and high school counselors who made the camp possible.
HS Principal Rodney Wallace, is hopeful about the new math programs that have been implemented in the high school this year. The district invested in new Reveal math textbooks, along with ALEKS, a research-based, online learning platform, that adjusts to each student's needs and provides them with an individualized learning path to support classroom instruction and help fill in gaps. The high school Algebra I and Geometry classes recently completed their Winter MAP testing, and the results are very encouraging, with two out of every three students meeting their growth goal!
