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.

Overall, my experience at Fairdale has not been bad. I think the school is a good school. The Fairdale community is good. Along with the area, the environment is overall decently safe as well. Fairdale is a school for grades 6-12. I am currently a senior.

I was always scared to go to highschool but as soon as I stepped foot in Fairdale I felt at home. Every person in the building was just so nice and welcoming. Fairdale reminds me of just a huge family where everyone sticks up for eachother and helps eachother on bad days. Without Fairdale I would have never met the lifetime friends I have right now. Without Fairdale I wouldn't be going to college with my bestfriend. Without Fairdale I wouldn't be ranked in the state for my athletic skills. I'll forever be thankful for the impact this school has had in my life.
