South Side Elementary School

I love that there are students from different countries, which brings about social interactions for the children from different backgrounds and culture.

Fairmont Elementary is an excellent school! The teachers and staff go above and beyond to insure the wellbeing of all students. The principal is a wonderful leader, and the kids adore her. All Jonson City Schools are great, but Fairmont is the BEST!

All the youngsters in my family have been students of woodland and now as I am a parant of 3 and will soon to be 4 students at woodland we have had great experances !! The teachers are great all the staff are friendly and the principal is great!!! I would recommend woodland to any student and parant!!!!!

I do not recommend this school. Student demographics pull from a very economically disadvantage/transient area. I question if Great Schools has up to date information. Teachers have to manage very chaotic behaviors at this school. My 1st grade child had students call the teacher curse words, had to endure foul mouthed language sometimes directed at her. A child routinely soiled himself at school. Front desk did not care about parental concern. It was so glad we moved to another district. Parents use your gut when you see a pawn shop, discount grocer and check cashing business nearby --- I wish I had.

For such a small run down school, many of the staff here surprisingly have their noses so high up I thought I mistakenly enrolled my kids into an Ivy League school of some sort! They don't address bullying, and in some of their words and actions there are hints of racism. Not all of course, there are many great staff there. But I'm not gonna name names, the ones I'm describing knows who they are. Parents don't have a voice here unless you're part of their circle. If you're from out of town or look different from them, I would stay away from this school. Have talked to many other locals in the area that moved here from out of state, and every other elementary school in the area doesn't have the same reputation.

The teachers enjoy their jobs and it shows in the way that they teach and interact with the students.
