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.

The school has rigorous academics and overall nice people, but, likely due to its placement, it has very little diversity, both in race and opinions and ideas. Around half the teachers are wonderful and truly care for the students, but the other half either have too much on their plate or are about to retire, so they aren't very helpful.

Overall, I have enjoyed being here for high school. Fairview does a good job with its academic teaching. Teachers are all very nice and knowledgeable in their field of study and teaching. The sports and athletics are also pretty good.

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...
