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

Awesome school. I've had several kids go to Mesa K-5. Mesa is a wonderful school, with kind, attentive teachers, a strong and tailored academic program that also is supportive and caring, and a tight-knit community. Families tend to be welcoming and very involved - two parents often show up to arts and music events - and you kind of get to know everyone. Lots of families walk to school. Teachers are excellent, and my family has had most of hte teachers at the school. The Principle, Josh, is a fantastic leader and well respected. Classes are pretty small at the moment with fewer kids in the neighborhood the past 10 years or so, making Mesa a great choice for smaller class sizes and additional attention currently.

SHMS is the worst kept secret in BVSD. It hides behind test scores and homogeneity. I'm sure you've seen it in the news recently. Many parents open enroll their students here, and it's a mistake virtually every time. BVSD has much better schools to offer.
