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.

From moving somewhere with a lower level education to a higher level education, Fairview has prepared me to be the best student I can be.

I'm about to graduate, and I've enjoyed my time here. Some of the teachers are hit or miss, but the majority of them are fantastic and really want their students to learn. Apparently there's a drug problem here, but I didn't know about it until a few months ago. I guess that goes to show how it's more about the people you hang around with than the school itself. One thing I do have to say is that the Arts department is terrible compared to STEM and sports.

Fairview is a great school with a very good academic program. The only thing I would change is the grading scale.

Lots of adult bullying of students. Superintendent and school board members treat parents like lowly subjects instead of taxpayers.
