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.

Being a student of Fairdale High school is an amazing experience. The teachers and staff are the kindest people I've ever met. They will support you and whatever your passions are. My school also has great programs including the Cambridge program where we are given the chance to gain college credit and it's considered more advanced than AP at other schools. Overall I've enjoyed my four years attending my school.

Great Teachers! Love the Nursing career path! My freshman year here has been great! I would not want to be at any other school in the county! Everyone here is so friendly! It is my home away from home. And I love the calm down space. It is a whole room set up where we can do yoga and meditate if we just need a break from work. Fairdale For Life!
