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.

Sometimes I mourn for the life I may have had if my parents chose to raise me in just about any other district. This district is plagued by racism and ignorance. Homophobia and xenophobia are ubiquitous at Fairless. Students who actually "make it out" of this district have trauma for life. There are certain families that are favorites to teachers/staff. Those of us who attend a university are significantly underprepared for the demands of college coursework. I don't recall ever having to write more than a one-page essay. There is a shortage of high achieving students and not much is done to change that. Most of the high school teachers and staff are unabashed bigots, all the way up to the school board. Some teachers have made female students uncomfortable in the past. The passionate and caring teachers I had have since retired, or they teach at the elementary school. I cannot attribute even an ounce of my success to this school.

Fairless High School was a great high school to go to. They had quality teacher for the most part, but a new building is needed. The lack of air conditioning is huge in distraction for most kids. Nobody can focus when they are sitting there in a hot school.

Very poor teachers except for a select few. You can tell that nobody cares about anyone but themselves. There is no person trying to solve any of the schools/kids problems unless it is easy for them. Poor school, even poorer faculty.

As a parent and alumni of Fairless I have seen the shortcomings of this school inside and out. I am VERY concerned about the lack of communication between school personnel, it always seems that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. I believe that it has improved in the last 20 yea...

Poor educational experience characterized by inexperienced teachers, high emphasis on sports over academics, and terrible ability to prepare students for college / the real world.
