my son has gone to fairview since pre k. and now is going to be in the fourth grade next year. I can honestly say that I have had nothing but positive experiences with the school, teachers and principal as a whole. my sons teachers has been outstanding and he has done well. his teacher this year , third grade teacher has exceeded so much with him. my son is very shy, bashful, well behaved, nervous child. the school has worked well with him trying to bring him out of his shell. I think that fairview school is a great school and would not hesitiate to send any child there because i know that they are taken care of. thanks teachers and mr profit for all you do and will continue to do with our children

My son is currently attending fairview as a kindergartener and i have been very pleased with his progress so far. I appreciate the emphasis on reading at such an early age. Nathan loves to read and so this is a perfect fit for us. The teachers i have met with so far are very friendly and open to talking to the parents. Nathan is excited to talk everyday about what he is doing in class and the friends he is making. I have no worries at all that he will progress well here and have no problems meetsin the requirements to complete kindergarten.

I am a 7th grade student at Fairview. I think that they are a pretty good school but need more discipline. They do not give hard enough punishments and some people get away with things a lot. They also ask for money a lot and some people do not have enough. But otherwise they are a pretty good school.

While this school may have high educational standards and quality. The level of children attending this school are white. I've had nothing but problems with this school and teachers, other children who have become racist against my own children. This is wrong and parents of Native American decent like we are need to stand together in resolving this problem with this school. Parents of other racial backgrounds need to stand together as well. If you don't have alot of money, or you are not 100% white at this school, you will be singled out eventually. Many are afraid to speak up about it, so therefore this problem goes un-noticed and denied by the school. This has been the worst school that I have come in to contact with.

I was a student at fairview for many years. I just moved in the 8th grade I miss it so much. I have never went to a school that I have loved more. The teachers were great and they had a great sports program. I wish I was back there. Mr. Profitt is a great principal and was a great coach.
