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.

My overall experience with Fairview High School was very rewarding. I love all of the teachers here and the academics are above average. The food here is decent but I would like to see better in the future. There isn't really any diversity.

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.

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