We have two children at the school and we've been there 4 years. Teachers are consistently high quality (effective, well trained in pedagogy and curriculum, and strong classroom managers). Several teachers we have had are some of THE BEST teachers I've ever seen in my experience with education. Some
Posted by a parent on 5/1/2026I have two kids that attend Fairview South and we love it. Teachers are great, they go above and beyond for the kids.

Posted by a parent on 10/16/2024We have two children at Fairview and overall, our experience has been very good. The teachers are excellent and work very hard to ensure students are learning and if they fall behind, teachers are available for extra assistance.

Posted by a community member on 5/27/2023It's amazing! The staff are nice and the students are learning a lot! They teach things that some schools don't usually teach such as life skills, which is a new specials they added. Everyone is getting treated equal and not one person feels left out.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family has had a terrible experience with this school. There is so much bullying that happens and teachers do nothing to help the students that are being victimized. The bully’s are never confronted and parents are told to have their children ignore or stay away from the bullying. The academics are also lacking, not sure if class size is the reason, however it’s harder to tell where your child is academically now that MAP is no longer being used. Once you enroll your child into a CPS school, they will immediately start to indoctrinate them with political ideologies that you may not want your child learning out of your home. Explaining sexuality to a 3rd grader that has not even had sexual education to understand it at any level, leaves families powerless to what and when they want to teach. We wish they would spend more time on academics and socialization and leave the politics out of the classroom.Parent Review2y ago - St Paul Lutheran Academy
