GreatSchools Rating
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.

I had a total of 5 teachers out of my entire elementary-high school career, that were actually caring and helpful and kind. I think Fairfield places more importance over appearance of test scores, facilities, and sports than they do child wellness and mental health. Mental Health awareness and help is the most important change I would like to see at that school.

this school is racist and very rude to the students and parents. they never do the right things and always put the wrong people in trouble. nothing is fair and the food is terrible and has made multiple people sick.

Overall Fairfield Jr/ Sr High school was a good school. Most of the teachers I had were very good and you could tell they really cared about the students there, whether they were in their class or not. Academics were fine, I feel that there were some things we definitely could have been taught more about, and I feel that there were things that weren't necessary to be taught that I and other students will never use in our real life.

Great!! Best school system I have seen in a while. Upstanding families, involved and caring community truly more than just a school. If you get involved you will experience the support and care from all.

The teacher turnover rate has been especially high since the arrival of the recent principal in 2013. Some of the best teachers have resigned because of working conditions and morale. If a teacher disagrees with the administration, that teacher is made so miserable they resign. Athletics is heavily...

My daughter attended New Paris Elementary School (part of the Fairfield district) for 6 years and loved it up until 4th grade. The bullying is horrible and the teachers are rude. When my daughter went to Fairfield for 7th grade it was awful. I wouldn't recommend this school for anyone that wants to...
