I have a daughter currently in second grade at Fairview Elementary. She has attended there since kindergarten. I personally think Fairview is a excellent school. They have a lot of one on one teaching. I feel they get personally involved. My child has become an excellent reader. I feel Fairview is the reason for that.

I can not say enough great things about this school. All the teachers are very caring and put great effort and time into their classroom. The administration is one of the best in the state. I would put this school up agianst any in the state or nation and know that Fairview Elem. would rate very high. The school encocurages parent involvement and treats each child with the same respect and concern for their education and life in general. I would rate this school a 5!
