Staff and parents felt they could bully me and my child because she was white British and so was I. I won't ever forgive them for that.

Ah Fairview. I've experienced both a lot of ups and downs during my time here. While some of the students may not be the most accepting of different political beliefs, they're at least mostly friendly if you don't bring up politics. On the downside, Fairview was the very place where I got my first taste of racism. Even when I spoke up, I don't think the issue was really dealt with. Additionally, the teachers here really care about their students. There are so many clubs one can be involved in (and it's easy to start a club too!) and there's really something for everyone. For me, I joined the debate team and it was definitely the best decision of my life. Not only did it help me improve my confidence and my argumentation skills, I made really good friends with my teammates. There were times that I wished I hadn't gone to Fairview, but overall, if I could go back in time to 8th grade when I was choosing a high school, I'd probably still choose Fairview. Yes, I surely had some ups and downs and rough times, but overall, still a good experience and I can't imagine going to a different high school

For sure the best school in BVSD!I have lots of friends that go to other schools in the district (Manhattan, Centennial, Summit, etc...)The classes are really challenging if you do the advanced track in math and LA, but not as challenging as Summit (probably a good thing). They are also perfect for getting you ready for high school.Teachers are all super nice the only bad experience I've had was when a substitute said a bad word to a kid but she got fired right away.Another nice thing is its super easy to change your schedule if you mess it up.As far as the actual student population goes, its a 9/10.While there are cliques (as there are at every school), they aren't super obvious, and everyone is included.I don't think there are any drugs, but there is one group of 5-6 people that vapes (only in 8th grade).Facilities kind of all got re-done as I arrived at the school!New sound system just got installed, with a new soundboard, monitor speakers for band students, and state-of-the-art (kinda) speakers.New heating/cooling system but it gets out of whack sometimes so every once and a while there are really cold rooms in the summer.Wonderful gyms, floor gets re-finished every summer. There are two gyms because one room used to be a pool (big gym) and lots of equipment including skateboards, archery, yoga, and we use the Fairview track for running the mile and playing football.Also BRAND NEW tennis courts: they literally just got refinished over the summer of 2024! Kickball field, football field, gaga ball pit, 4 square courts.Also if you are into skating the whole school is skate-friendly after school, so you can grind the benches and the rails (honestly the whole front courtyard kinda looks like a skate park)NJHS and 360 leader programs are available in 8th grade.It takes about 2 minutes to walk the school end to end and passing period is 4 minutes so you should be fine (small school).Cross country and track teams are HUGE! Practices are like a stampede of buffalo.Overall best BVSD school if you are looking to have a good time in middle school.Hope you find this review helpful!
