Springfield

The staff truly make sure that parents are involved in their child's education. Fairview always goes above and beyond to make sure that students are positively encouraged to do well in their studies, in addition to behavioral choices. My children have attended here for a few years now and I'm very pleased with the education they have received.

Great school!! my son loves going to school and loves his teachers

You never know what people are going through and nobody In this school down to the special education bus drivers have no compassion for others.

I use to like this school but it's too much bullying from children and not enough consequences behind it. My child can't defend herself physically if she gets hit first is their rule. When she does defend herself everytime she gets in more trouble than the person bullying her. Communication is bad as well except if you have a teacher that agrees with communication is key as well. Their should be more meetings about bullying and make sure parents are aware of what their children are doing at all times.

Allowing my children to attend YACS was not a positive experience. From day 1 I witnessed my children’s decline. Both of my kids were straight A students, & my son was testing 4 grades above average prior to attending this school. I was constantly having to point out improperly graded papers and inquire why 15 points were taken off for a missing name instead of the 5 that was mentioned in the syllabus. After 3 years both children were placed in fundamental/remedial classes, & my son whom was high spirited & outgoing became reclusive & lacking confidence was testing 3 levels below his grade average. I witnessed teachers single him out & recommend I have him put on medication for hyperactivity. I have removed my children for a year & now both of them are academically back ahead of the game testing levels above their grade level. I felt as though the school administrators were too focused on praying about standing for the American flag & inserting their political views into prayer when they should’ve been more focused on teaching our children to kneel before Christ. I prefer my children attend a school that values social & economical differences & values differences. I felt the school was clique-ish and allowed way too much bullying. Both of my children now require physiological counseling from the prejudices they experienced while attending YACS. If you are a person of color and feel like a project make sure you’re volunteering every chance you can & stay on the teachers otherwise your child will be singled out & treated unfairly. Not all of the staff appear to be a part of the good ole boys, but beware!
