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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

this school has showed me that there are many wonderful educators in the world. The courses that are offered are interesting and engaging. There are many different activities for students like Track and Robotics. The teachers are great at educating us students about many subjects and are ALWAYS willing to help out with anything. Many students choose to go to teachers for help with personal matters because they also care.

Fairmont is a very good school for learning and getting involvement in sports and activities. The diversity of the school could be better. The school has felt very unsafe at times as the staff do not know how to deal with troubled kids as well as they should. the school is safe from outside issues but the students need to be handled better. there are many new rules with phones and technology that made the students upset. overall fairmont is an average school.

The school has good facilities, including a large auditorium, and a nice gymnasium that was renovated several years ago. FHS has a terrific athletic department (this past year, many tea...
