Fairwood's 850 students were transferred to Smith Elementary until the new 'combined' elementary school opened in 2011. Berea High School and Midpark High School was consolidated into one high school called Berea-Midpark High School for the 2013-2014 school year. The current Midpark High School was renamed the Middleburg Heights Junior High that now houses the district’s seventh to ninth graders. Ford Intermediate School, formerly Ford Middle School, includes fifth and sixth graders.^[3]
