I'm very glad that I was placed at Fairfield High School. I love the culture and the staff. The food isn't very good, but by school food standards, it's decent. I wouldn't choose any other school to go to though.

Overall my experience with the school is great because of all the friends and people I interact with on a daily. Something I would like to see change is definitely more involvement with students and parents.

My experience was very good and all the different courses that were offered helped me further in life. The AP courses were absolutely excellent and the students were good to the faculty. The different events were what made Fairfield High magical, especially the AVID class.

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.
