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.

Its not bad of a school. But they can work on better food the food is not good and they are small portions. They should more clube for the low color culture in the school. Like any schools thee are good teacher and bad I do with they would chack on students and asked them how there teachers are so they know who should work there and who shouldn't. They need to be better at telling people abould activitys they post and tell people last minute. I also wish the school didnt look like a prisons they put cell doors on the up stairs bathroom . As a women the bathrooms get full and i have no where to go because the other batheroom is not vallibel. Its not a bad school but it could be better.

My experience at Betty h Fairfax high school was overall a good experience. One of the best parts were my friends, I think it had a lot to do with the people I decide to surround myself with. I decide to surround myself with people who had the same goal or were just very good people. It also has a lot to do with the decision/ choses I made either they were good or bad they all helped me to grow as a person and to learn from my mistake. The worst part I would have to say would be the coaches for sports. I think that they focus a lot on winning but don't really care about the mental health of their players. They would also have favorites, so I would like to see the in the future they care more being equal with everyone.

I would not recommend that anyone sends their child to Betty Fairfax, or any PXU school for that matter.
I used to go to this school and it’s the worse school you could ever put your child in. The teachers never help you. They don’t care about your child’s education and when there’s issues they ever care to solve them. And the principal is terrible!!! never send your kids here.
My daughter has had a wonderful high school experience here. There are only a few kids (and parents) that stir up trouble. Overall, the academics are rigorous, the opportunities for sports and activities/clubs are many and the teachers care about their students.
I gave this school one star since it was required to choose something. I HAVE NEVER been more dissapointed with a school!! Do not send your child here! Police there every week!! Their staff NEVER gets back to you, I can go on and on. Do yourself a favor and find a better school!!
My child currently attendance this joke of a school. The principal is worthless. Do your child a favor do not enroll them here. The lack of communication and terrible professionalism is beyond comprhension. The sped department has failed my child educationally and the principal and his pathetic assi...
