My experience at this school was overall pretty good, the teachers are extremely supportive, however low-income families may feel very out of place at this school.

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

My child has been very happy at Platt. Our other two children attended another middle school in the same district, and we feel the quality of teachers at Platt is much better- they are younger and very engaged. My child is naturally shy, and the school has really given his self confidence a boost and helped him become a leader. He went in not knowing too many other kids well, and has made lifelong friends. The quality of the intramural sports is also great.
