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.

Fairfield is a small school where the teachers really care about getting to know and form meaningful relationships with their students. If you are looking for a school with outstanding sports teams you will not find it at fairfield, but the thing you will find is that when our teams come together they are like a big family. I would definitely recommend Fairfield to anyone looking for a new school.

I like how Fairfield is a small community. It makes getting to know each other easier, because you are friends with most people in your grade. I like Fairfield overall, and the only thing I would change would be get better computers for students

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.
