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 really enjoy Fairhope High School because I was raised in Fairhope. I grew up living here and I immediately fell in love with Fairhope. I love each teacher and the administrators in our department. Everyone is always kind and welcoming. The students are what you figure: teenagers. Some are nicer than others but we are all just trying to be done with high school.

Some bathroom stalls also don't have locks that function properly to the point that they may as well not be there at all (gi...
