Fairfax High School is a great school with nice facilities. I would say that the biggest problem at this school like most other schools is the vaping and smoking in the bathrooms. I believe that the consequences for these actions are not big enough and more should be done to change that.

As I've seen in my four years at Fairfax High School (FHS), everyone has a chance to succeed in whichever field they wish to pursue regardless of ethnicity or background if they apply themselves. Whether it's engineering, Comp Sci, Auto mechanics,Sports, trades, or mine, Architecture, there's a class here to help you excel in it. There isn't anything I'd like to change here.

When I got to the school as a freshman I didn't know what to expect. Throughout the months during my first year I was able to enjoy the clubs I attended and the games I was able to go too. Now as a senior I saw myself go to less games and spend more time at home. I lost the fun trill I used to have. I hope in the future I see a change in how they do events to make it more engaging and fun.

This School I feel is judged by its cover. I honestly think that the teachers are amazing and caring. The Students are Respectful to the teachers and the teachers respect us. A lot of people say that drugs are more common here than any other school I strongly disagree all. The school is very safe I...

My oldest daughter went to Fairfax High and my youngest went to Oakton High School. It was a much better experience for my oldest at Fairfax high school. The academics were just as challenging and it was a much more friendly and inviting environment. She was in the top 2% of her class and went on to...
