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.

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.

I enjoyed my four years at Fairfield Area High school. The best and worst part was that it is a small school in a small town. That is the best part because I have grown up with the same group of people since pre-school. The worst part is that there is not a lot of diversity because we are a small town. Overall, I think Fairfield High School was a great place to go to school where the coaches and administration really care about their students.

I think my whole high school experience was great. I loved all of my teachers and the custodian/cafeteria staff. I would love to see the school work on bullying just a little bit more. Although there is not a lot of bullying, i think we can always improve to make our school feel even safer.

I have been a student at Fairfield since Kindergarden and have lived in the area my whole life. I am going to be a junior this fall. Fairfield is a very small school as my graduating class of 2019 has around 98 students. The school is mainly white students with 5 black students. The office staff are amazing and the principal is very nice and you often see him coming to support the school in all of its involvements including football games.

My children have went to this school since kindergarten and if I had it to do over again, would choose somewhere else. The administration does not seem to care about anything but making sure students do well on the assessment tests that determine how much money the school gets from the state. My chi...

My daughter has been going to FASD since kindergarden. She will be a junior this year. They have plenty of activities for the kids to become a part of if they want to be involved. She has always been involved in multiple activities, sometimes I think maybe too many. I told her she must keep her grad...
