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.

This School is not good if you want to get into a good college and the administration doesn't do a good job of knowing things and accuse random student of things like starting a fight or throwing food in the cafeteria. In the bathroom there is graffiti and a lot of people smoke in the bathroom. At the football games there is very much insecurity of people and and some kids fight, they mess around and they drink. For college if you want to be an honor graduate it is very hard with teachers not really consenting to kids and the fact that are not as much AP classes unlike lake Braddock who has a lot of AP classes and is good for honor graduates and has a very good school. The school lunch is not good at all because there have been multiple reports of hair in their food and I recommend to pack your child lunch for home. If your child is very interested in sports this is not a good school unless they are interested in wrestling or tennis. Social media is a huge problem in this School and many kids have very bad mental health because of this and cellar devices. For classes there is a variety of classes but some classes not to take because of mental health and stressful are computer solutions and At Robinson Secondary School, the lackluster classes significantly contribute to student discontent. Many subjects are taught with outdated materials and uninspired methods, making it hard for students to engage with the curriculum. Classes often lack variety, focusing heavily on rote memorization rather than hands-on learning or critical thinking, which stifles creativity and curiosity.Teachers, overwhelmed by large class sizes and limited resources, struggle to provide individualized attention, leaving many students feeling neglected. This results in a monotonous classroom environment where learning feels like a chore. Ultimately, the absence of engaging education fosters a sense of apathy, leaving students feeling unprepared for their future academic and personal endeavors.
