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.

Initially, when I transferred over to Fairchild Wheeler in 2021, I wasn't happy. I basically left behind everything I had at Bullard. But, while the transition was a little rocky at first, I quickly found my footing and embraced the atmosphere at Fairchild. I've made a bunch of friends and had tons of great experiences while continuing my high school quest at this school.

The school and area around it is great. Personally after a long day of school we can stroll around the school path. The teachers are very understanding and are great when working with the students. There are some concerns though, the only issue is that the buses do get a bit crowded during dismissal and it's hard for students to get out of their parking, we have to wait for all of the buses to leave if you get caught in the traffic. Other than that I love attending school here.
