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.

It's a pretty good school, but there are a lot of things they can improve on. When it comes to the lunch and the testing, they can provide faster working staff and better tasting food. When there's a big test, such as finals or SATs, we should leave early, instead of staying for the whole day.

I love the classes that are offered here. When deciding which high school to attend, I fell in love with Fairchild's Biotech school. It had lots of different pathways I could go into, and I just knew that I'd enjoy my time here surrounded by other students with similar mindsets.

Going to Biotechnology Research and Zoological Sciences was one of the best choices I could have made for my academic career. Colleges found my high school degree from this school to be impressive. I got into 21 out of the 22 schools I applied to some of them being challenging schools to get into. There are many accomplishments you can complete during your time at FCW and a wide variety of clubs you can attend. This school really allows you to be the best version of you.
