I really enjoy attending Fairfax High School, mainly because I feel like there are a lot of amazing teachers and resources you are given to prepare you for college or anything you may need throughout your 4 years here.

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.

Fairfax High School was truly a great guide for students for their future. Fairfax High School exhibited all the qualities a parent would want for their child and for students to want for their future. Whether it was the student resources, the staff, their inclusion for students, etc. Fairfax High School was a great experience for me and many other students.

Both of my children graduated from FHS, as did their father 25 years earlier. Exceptional school in strong community. Both children were given opportunities to learn strong math and science and both became engineers after college. You get back what you put into your education, it takes work.

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...
