My child is going on year 3 and has been benefiting from the dual immersion program. While this is a low income area, the students seem to get a great education here and the staff is friendly (especially the front administration office). They genuinely want your children to succeed and things have b
Posted by a parent on 8/26/2024Everything always feels so rushed and unorganized when I go to school events. The principal just stands around and the Vp always looks stressed. Idk if I want my kid going here anymore. Things have changed a lot ever since the new admin started after Covid. Even the new teachers don’t seem as compet
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2024The priciple is super lazy to manage anything except some parents threaten him to sue him otherwise. There are quite some bad staff/teachers (e.g. K, 5th grade, and office staff) who lack love/passion for education and simply do not want to work at all and are very laid-back and rude. They do not wa
Posted by a parent on 2/25/2024I’m happy with Benjamin Franklin. My child loves going to school, her Kindergarten teacher is lovely and responds promptly to emails. Office staff is very friendly, and the school has various helpful meetings and live web conferences for parents. Classrooms seem nice and organized. Best school in th

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids have attended this school since kinder and are now almost completing middle school. There have been some teachers that are not that stellar but overall my kids have had excellent caring teachers. The school did exactly what I was looking for which is disciplined academics and rigor. They also helped one accelerate in math and he is way ahead without me pushing. My kids are very respectful and have never gotten into trouble and I am appreciative that it's not an overly strict regimented school but allows free thinking and curiosity. There have been changes to the elementary side so I can't speak to that anymore but when we went through it the teachers were great. Yes the proper head of school was not my favorite but that has changed. Yes I didn't think that English teacher being mentioned may need to retire and she is no longer there. Changes are not always made immediately but just like in our daily jobs things will get corrected it just takes time.Parent Review1y ago - Fairmont Private Schools - Historic Anaheim Campus

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am currently a freshman in high school, I attended Fairmont from preschool to 8th grade. I am extremely disappointed with their preparation for my high school academic experience. Their middle school math course has an extreme problem. I took Algebra 2 honors 8th grade year and I am retaking it this year. Some teachers are extremely unprofessional and their “counselors” are worse. I had social struggles and staff did not seem to care. I had seen many physical fights break out in the locker room, playground, cafeteria, and gym. I feel that Fairmont has failed me in preparation for success academically later in life.Student Review3y ago - Guide Academy
