Overall, Fairfield Prep is a great school. The teachers, the facilities, and all faculty are immensely helpful & will do anything in their power to achieve your goals with you. The only downside to Prep is sometimes students can get somewhat clique-y.

I was originally forced into Prep after going to public all my life. After every year at prep, it started to feel less like I was being forced but more like I wanted to attend this school. Now that I am a freshman in college, I realized how much Prep prepared me for college. The memories and bounds I built at prep will last me a lifetime. I hope to give my kids the same experience I had at prep. couldn't think of a better high school school than Prep. HAIL PREP!!

The best part of my experience at prep I would say is the amazing people and faculty you meet and create long lasting bonds with. And my worst experience is probably the first day not knowing anyone and having to restart.

This school knows how to educate boys- period. Our son loves this school, especially the athletics and the teachers, the school pride and community. I cannot recommend it more highly.

Fairfield Prep has a name and reputation. However, the school has zero guidance and puts up with endless bullying. No action is taken when physic verbal abuse takes place. It’s a shame that this school has declined in leadership and in values. Stay away and send your son to respectable school.

The school is really amazing with the support it provides to its students. There is also peer support and a very good vibe among the students.

I went to school here several years ago. The teachers and administrators were professional and dedicated to serving their students. I would recommend this school to anyone. Despite the high cost, it is worth every penny.
