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 have gone to Fairview my whole life and it is a great school. I feel safe as soon as I walk in those doors. I have been able to develop relationships with my teachers and feel like I genuinely learn something new everyday. Majority of the teachers are very good at being flexible relating to missing school for sports because they support us. The only thing that can be improved is our guidance department.

At Fairview High School, I would say that the best part of my experience has been the personal connections I have been able to make with staff members and teachers throughout the entire district. On the flip side, I have not enjoyed the school culture and overall dynamic between different cliques and groups in each grade.

Lots of adult bullying of students. Superintendent and school board members treat parents like lowly subjects instead of taxpayers.
