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.

People judge to much and the work load is unbearable.

The school could use many improvements in every aspect. We re-paint all the lockers and walls every year during the summer, but the old gym, stairs, and hallways need some work. There is always someone there to help you when you are having trouble. Our whole school is like a family here.

Even though we only have a few sports for each gender, I believe this school has great school spirit. On homecoming days we all dress up and have competitions to get everyone involved with all the sports. We may not be the best team but the town of Fairfax supports us the best they possibly can.
