I cannot say enough good things about Fairview. We have had children in Fairview for the last 8 years. The teachers are amazing! They truly care about their students and put in so much extra time and effort. The community is terrific too—lots of parents vested in the school. There was a brief period (about a yr) where we had a new principal who was not the best, but she has since left. The new administration is fantastic and is definitely willing to work with parents to do what’s best. Even the front office staff are so welcoming and helpful.

As a parent, I am very disappointed with my family's experience at Robinson. I expect a school to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where students can focus on learning, but that has not been our experience. One of my biggest concerns is that the school does not seem to take students' mental health seriously enough. Many children struggle with stress, anxiety, and other personal challenges, yet it often feels like these concerns are overlooked instead of being addressed with meaningful support.Another major issue is student behavior. From what my child has experienced and shared with me, there are students who are disruptive, disrespectful, and sometimes bully others, yet there do not seem to be consistent consequences. My child has also reported seeing students vaping on or around school grounds, which is very concerning. I believe the school should do more to prevent this behavior and ensure students are learning in a safe and healthy environment. I am also disappointed with the school's leadership. In my opinion, the principal and some staff members have not done enough to address concerns raised by students and parents. Too often, it feels like complaints are ignored or handled without meaningful action, allowing the same problems to continue. As a parent, I believe every child deserves to attend a school where they feel safe, supported, and respected. I hope Robinson takes these concerns seriously and works to improve student safety, mental health support, and accountability so all students have the opportunity to succeed.
