FORT FRYE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

What FORT FRYE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT does

Fort Frye Local School District is a public K-12 school district and political subdivision of the State of Ohio operating under the Ohio Revised Code. It is headquartered at 510 5th Street, Beverly, Ohio, and serves students residing within its designated district boundaries in Washington County, Ohio. The district is governed by a locally elected Board of Education and administered by Superintendent Stephanie Starcher and Treasurer Kaitlin Huck, with no parent company or private ownership interests.

The district operates five schools: Fort Frye High School (grades 9-12), Fort Frye Middle School (grades 6-8), Beverly Center Elementary, Lowell Elementary, and Salem-Liberty Elementary (grades K-5 or K-6 depending on source). Its core product is comprehensive K-12 education, supplemented by athletic programs at both high school and middle school levels, transportation services, guidance and college/career counseling, and wellness programs. Technology infrastructure consists of commodity third-party edtech platforms — Infinite Campus for the student information system, FinalForms for forms management, and Google Workspace (Gmail, Google Drive) for staff productivity — with iOS and Android mobile apps layered on top of the district's official website as the primary digital channel to parents and students.

Fort Frye does not generate commercial revenue. As a government entity, it is funded through state formula funding, local property tax levies, and federal education grants, and provides free public education to district-resident children. The district's sole competitive position is its statutory geographic monopoly as the public K-12 provider within its boundaries, with customer concentration inherently defined by residency rather than commercial choice.
