We had two of our boys go to Fairmount and they loved the school, peers, and teachers. We have also volunteered a lot in the school and have a first had account of the environment there. We highly recommend Fairmount.

Golden High has a lot of good teachers here, from what I have experienced so far, they're all respectful and nice to all the kids a like, no matter what. They don't exclude anyone and are supportive of everyone, checking in with some that need it more than others. They really did a good job at making the school feel secure and safe for everyone there, though that's one of the downsides. Despite all the good sides about this school their are an awful amount of bullies and fights/hardships that happen here every year. When we reported someone doing something bad to us and/or others the counsellors did nothing about it, we asked about it a week later and then they'll say they'd do something about it and never did. The teacher's and some of the counselors are not good at taking care of students that are actually causing harm to the others and are instead focusing on the little things like how people are giving others piggyback rides in the cafeteria calling it unsafe for them. With that, some of the staff are... Odd. One of the security guards that are supposed to make us feel safe aren't really doing a good job at that, following students around and even checking their files and going into certain details that they shouldn't. I really do think this school needs to do a better job at handling their staff and the bullying problem. It isn't my number one suggestion for a school but it's not all that bad. I'd give it about a 7/10.

It's a great school but it's not always safe and a couple of teacher are kinda mean but it's a good school they also they do a really fun stuff like vacations you have to pay for and out door lab for a week in the mountains for only 20$
