GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school over all is decent. Average attendance, work, and environment. This school main goal is to get the kids out of high school as well as they can but don't necessarily make the time at the highschool the best. They are only worried about getting kids to graduate.

I liked how they give you many college benefits way before you even go to college. Like how you can take classes that will actually give you dual credits for college, and also how they offer you scholarships to help pay for college.

At Fairfield Community High School, I liked that the teachers were nice, I get one on one time with the teachers, and how small the classes were. One thing I would change in high school would be the classes that we can learn from. We need classes for activities we do in our everyday life.
