I personally love my experience at Fairchild. I originally came here because of the opportunity to work with animals and have animal based classes as it would focus on a possible career for me. In the end psychology was something I wanted to do the most and still want to do now. Even then they have an Ap psychology course that I might try to apply for. The people here are friend and helpful. I've never once felt out of place here. The teachers are good and while they can be aggravating at times I know they're trying their best. Overall the school is great and I'm glad I decided to enroll here.

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.

I love the class sizes and how they are small. I love how great my teachers are and that they get to know me very well as a student. I also like how there are only 4 classes per term for longer periods of time to accommodate labs. I have made some great friends here. What could be better? Well, my school counselor is just ok--I haven't received a whole lot of guidance about college or anything about scholarships from her but I'm pretty motivated to do that myself. I've had a great 4 years at Fairchild Wheeler.
