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.

Fair is a very open and welcoming school, with a diverse community. The staff are supportive and helpful, and only want the best for their students. There are many opportunities for performing and presenting your art to the community. I appreciate the open-mindedness of that staff and how much they care about the students well-being. They help their students grow and improve.
