Fairfax is a wonderful diverse school. It's specialties are in arts since it is an Art Magnet School. It is one of the most diverse schools, though it is a bit over-crowded. If you want your child to excel in arts then Fairfax would be an awesome school to send your child to.

When I attended Fairfax it was still a wonderful learing institution. Now it seems as if the moral and students have diminished in school pride and just basic caring. It is a shame.

My child seem to not achieve much of what was needed because some teachers do not know how to teach!

My children have had an awful academic experience at this inferior school. Yet, there are a few good if not great teachers.

I am actually a student at Fairfax High School. I enjoy it alot. I am envolved with the basketball team and the Academic Decathalon Team and enjoy both. Some of the faculty give off a feeling like they do not want to be there but on the whole it is a nice school with little violence.

The school is build like a jail. The quality of the program varies from class to class but in general deserves a grade of c-. Parent involvement practically does not exists.

I graduated from Fairfax in 1995 and now work as an elementary school teacher. My teachers were outstanding, especially Mrs. Canjura who was my ESL teacher. They offer excellent AP and Honors classes at Fairfax. If you are a serious students that is willing to put effort in order to succeed, this is the right school for you.

this school is the dumbest school, almost everyone there is failing, my daughter is failing, and is always complaining about how dumb the teachers are, and how they teach the same thing day by day. They even took out most of the great learning experiences the children could make. My daughter wants me to take her out of that school, which is exactly what i am going to do.
