I've had a pretty good experience here, I haven't seen many fights and I myself have never been in one. I love all the teachers I've had and would wish anyone that's an underclassmen get them as their teachers too. I also would say I'm feeling well prepared for college and most of the grey areas are being covered along with most of the questions I've had about college, they're doing a really awesome job of making sure the next generation is prepared.

My experience at Fairfield it definitely a memorable one. I was involved in many different activities like choir, sports and clubs and have mostly good memories. Fairfield is a small school which leads to small town conflict so it's tricky to not get caught up in it. Overall it is one of the better community's in the area to be apart of.

Fairfield is a close-knit community of parents and kids. However, sometimes this leads to a lack of inclusiveness for all students who may seem different. I've seen this happen multiple times whether it be with people of color or nonreligious people or people who aren't heterosexual. I'd like to see a more inclusive space in the future.

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...
