No homework. Watching movies in Math classes. Do I need to say more? Very disappointed, I wish I could afford private school. My daughter is struggling with Math but has an A, they are just lying to the parents.

10/10 school my kids love it here! They have a fun time with their friends and the learning experience. The teachers really care about the students and put the time and effort to help the students.

Fairlands is an incredible elementary school. Both of my children have attended and have had wonderful educational and social experiences. My daughter is now in middle school, is on honor roll, and we firmly believe that Fairlands set her up for academic success in the years to come. This school prides itself on being community oriented, and the events and programs bring families together.

I would not recommend this preschool unless your child is high on the spectrum. It has a high iron fence built around the entrance/play area with two gates in order to gain entry giving it a fortress and very un-preschool like feel. This is for safety purposes, but it sends a message that this is a place for children who have some serious challenges. Also, it is not an inclusive program, so the preschoolers are not exposed to typically developing students on a daily basis. Research has shown that children who are high functioning autistic or developmentally delayed tend to improve ata greater pace by having role modeling from their typically developing peers.Some teachers appear melancholy a lot of the time, perhaps due to lack of resources, burn out, or a combination of both -- but it's hard to know why. However, I would have to say the aides there really try to make it as great as possible given its atmosphere and are very upbeat and kind to the parents. If you have the resources, consider a private school such as the School of the Imagination in Dublin instead.
