I am a 7th grade student at Fairview. I think that they are a pretty good school but need more discipline. They do not give hard enough punishments and some people get away with things a lot. They also ask for money a lot and some people do not have enough. But otherwise they are a pretty good school.

While this school may have high educational standards and quality. The level of children attending this school are white. I've had nothing but problems with this school and teachers, other children who have become racist against my own children. This is wrong and parents of Native American decent

If you don't have alot of money, or you are not 100% white at this school, you will be singled out eventually. Many are afraid to speak up about it, so therefore this problem goes un-noticed and denied by the school. This has been the worst school that I have come in to contact with. Read less

I have two children at Fairview. Not only have I been extremely happy with their overall education, I just cannot imagine them going to another school. I walk in and feel a sense of ease and warmth. I believe this is due to the principal's involvement, and true interest in all of her students. She has

Recently The 7th and 8th graders put on a musical production. Both nights were sold out.
