The best part about Fairmont I that they prepare you for college really well. They offer many classes for college credit or college readiness. The only reason you should have a bad experience is that if you don't apply yourself or reach out for help.

Fairmont High School is a great school overall. Opportunity is really something that summarizes my experiece at Fairmont. There are an abundance a great teacher's that really want their students to succeed. There is a plethora of clubs, activities, and sports. There is a large, diverse student population. Course offerings are vast with multiple AP, IB, and CCP classes, and a Career Tech Program that prepares many students for the workforce after high school. School spirit is strong among the students and teachers which makes a big school seem small. I don't think I could have wished for a better high school experience, and I'm very thankful for everything I've learned during my time at Fairmont.

This school district is amazing from the elementary schools right up to the high school. I love that the students are split up into wings to make the large school feel more intimate and less intimidating. Don't let the size of the school scare you, it truly doesn't feel as big as it is and the size...

Its only my second week of school and I am already being bullied and picked on by a teacher. Please get me out of here.

Disabled and mentally ill students aren't properly supported. Leadership is ridiculous and the principles are more concerned with their image than students safety.Teachers are very good with 'bad' ones being few and far between.The arts programs are fantastic.

No bullying policy, lots of kids get bullied and the school doesn't care. Math is very behind at this school, not preparing students for college-level math.
