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 best parts of my time at Fairborn High School was my orchestra class there was never a day that wasn't good in that class. The worst part was my senior math class it was difficult the teacher didn't explain how to do things very well. But it was a pretty good experience over all.

Most of my teachers were fantastic. Sports were pretty okay in the way that they were fun rather than good.

The school is incredibly small, which offers a great tight-knit community, but does not allow for as wide a variety of classes as a larger school.
