Fairburn Avenue Elementary School

high expectation school. unfortunate about the LAUSD situation. Would be great if there was a decent middle school to transition this excellent school to.

Well, here's the thing. My son has not yet attended this school. It is our home school, and while I have heard nothing but great things from many sources, it is hard to let go of the fact that every time I call for information the people are RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!!!!! This may not be a reflection on the teachers, but it sure is a BAD way to make a first impression on anyone. What a turn-off! Having second thoughts just because of the sucky front desk attitude. :(

I am very fortunate that my kids have wonderful teachers. I must say that the parent involvement is very disappointing. My son went to a nearby school last year for kinder and they were so welcoming to parents being involved in class and around school. We were never kicked off campus and always welcomed. Fairburn won't even allow you to be with your kids on the play yard even while your volunteering. Very disappointing. I feel like I am being cheated of sharing this experience with my kinder child this year when I had such a wonderful experience last year. Overall the school is great.

I called a few times to inquire about the school, registration days, tour dates and I was very disappointed. The staff was very very rude, sounded very bitter and they didn t make me feel welcomed at all. Anyone had any other experience with the administration staff there?

Smart kids, nice parents- my 1st grader has had a wonderful experience so far and looks forward to school everyday. Also, a commendable after-school program.

Our son is finishing up at Fairburn this year. He has been there K-5 and has loved every minute. He has received a wonderful elementary school education. The staff and teachers are dedicated to their school and students.

This has been our first year at Fairburn. There's a great community of parents and a lovely bunch of kids. Our teachers have been brilliant (including the STAR staff) and I feel my daughter couldn't have been more happy!

The teachers at Fairburn, especially Mrs. Miller, my son's kinder teacher, are wonderful and the parents are extremely dedicated and involved.
