GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Fairview is an amazing school, it's a great place to be challenged and take on challenges while also giving students the resources and opportunities to maintain a good work life balance. Student voice and leadership are valued here and students are able to choose what areas they want to focus on and be competitive on and what areas they want to take regular college prep courses in.

Fairview High School has been a good high school experience so far. I have enjoyed being in Latin class. The environment was very welcoming and my teacher is good at teaching while keeping things interesting. Math has also been a good experience. All my math teachers have worked with me whenever I needed help. The community is pretty nice, but I'd recommend being in a club to feel a part of the school.

Fairview is a school of highs and lows. There is no steady curriculum amongst teachers of any of the subjects, so it is chance wether you receive proper learning. This may be a pro for some, but for me it was a con. The counselors of FHS are amazing and helpful like no other. I have been to 3 high schools and not received nearly as much support as the ones at Fairview. - Athletics are underfunded, especially girls athletics. I attended 9 months of title9 meetings to make some changes, but there still needs to be plenty of work. - Fairview is very mental health focused. Counselors don't want any student left behind. This was very helpful as my family had gone through some things my senior year. Overall I was a school of highs and lows, but grateful for the things I got to be a part of.

Ah Fairview. I've experienced both a lot of ups and downs during my time here. While some of the students may not be the most accepting of different political beliefs, they're at least mostly friendly if you don't bring up politics. On the downside, Fairview was the very place where I got my first t...

I would say that Fairview provides lots of care, attention, and opportunity for every different student to thrive. The teachers and staff really care about how to prepare the students for the future.

They only treat dark-skinned individuals nicely because the whole town is politically correct, not because they actually want to be nice. Some faculty members are in there just to make cash from donations from the rich kids. The disciplinary system is way out of wack and very unfair. This school glo...
