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.

My experience at Kettering Fairmont High School has been great. I am part of the International Bachadaloriate program at the school, which offers a community and skills to think critically. If it wasn't for this amazing program I probably wouldn't view my high school experience as great as it was. I got to learn about new things from around the world and to meet amazing teachers and peers who cared about education, and the strengths that can come with education.

I think my school is really because I feel very lucky that I was able to go here the past four years. It's really big and they are always inproving facilities and administration so everyone can get the best education. I've made lots of memorable memories being here with all my peers along with all my teachers. They also have many opportunities for all of the students like college plus classes and all the connections they have with different schools and colleges so all of us can reach our dreams.

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.
