Fairfield High School consists of many students who strive to achieve a bright future. Despite this, there are also a handful of others who do not. My experience with this school is very mediocre as not everybody is very united and some distract others from their goals. Most teachers put in a heavy amount to help kids learn and become a better person, but not everybody takes advantage of this.

Overall the experience of attending Fairfield High was not the worst choice there was. However I would say our chances of having an elite as well high education is very low. Although the overall looks of this school where bad it gave students a chance at life to strive for the unreachable as well reachable.

Many kids that attend this school do not receive proper support and home. The student then comes to school to become their problem. If your child keeps their head low, and don’t search for the wrong crowd they will be safe and have successful high school years. There are fights daily on campus that...

My kids love it here, i am so glad i brought them here. i was worried at first because many people were saying it wasn't the best place but i guess my wife was right, don't assume things just because of what people say.

Honestly this school gets dumped on for no reason, although it looks bad and the reviews aren't high this school has improved so much and the people here are so kind.
