Fairview Elementary School

I have seen nothing about this school that warrants any kind of merit. The teachers have a 'buddy system' in which they cover eachother's backsides no matter right or wrong, they bully the children more than any student, they only care about their test scores and not at all about the children themselves. If a child is not on ritalin, subdued, drugged or a perfect little sheep, they are noted as a problem child. Creativity and questioning authority is not welcome at this facility. The teachers expect perfect respect, but do nothing to earn it. They complain about not making enough money for the little that they actually do. The worst part is... my child was merely in kindergarten. they like to wait until they are completely exacerbated about anything before attempting to contact a parent and then treat them as if they parents are the ones causing all of the problems. Welcome to Fort Smith.

The quality of children that go to this school is sub-par. I have 3 kids in three different grades in this school. The teachers are overworked and I was satisfied with the teachers last year, but I am not satisfied with the teachers this year. Watch out if you start to have problems with your children having difficulties with other children. The administration will take sides.

I absolutely love this school! I am and overprotective mother full of worry for my children. But now during the day I know that my child is in a safe and loving environment. The teachers and everyone there are absolutely wonderful! Best of all my son is so happy and learning new things every day.

I think the teachers and staff are great. On the other hand the students that attend are horrible bullies, especially in the higher grades.

My daughter has attended Fairview for two years likewise. My expectations have been exceeded. The communication among teachers and parents is urged and that is key. The staff I have met have been personable ,not only to me but my child. My daughter never says 'do I have to go to school tomorrow?' and for that I'm grateful!

My daughter has attended this school for 2 years, the teacher quality is really good. They are there for the kids and parents, they work together to help the kids. They have alot of different programs to bring in more parent involvement. The principal is a main involvement in all activites, she knows all the kids by name believe it or not. I have requested permission for my daughter to continue in this school even thought we live in another distict, and I was given it. Thank you teachers and staff at Fairview.

Excellent choice for your kids and a great experience for the parents. Your child will never want to leave. If you have the chance to have your child attend this school you will never regret it.
