My son is a junior and has been in the school system all his life. I am very pleased with his experience both academically, socially and athletics. The school has a top rated marching band. As a parent and a leader in the community, I am very proud of our high school.
My daughter has attended Fairfield HS for a year now and the teachers are very good and engaged in their students educational experience.
I am an Alumni of the school and It is a great place to get an education. FHS prepared me for college and my future in this world. Thanks FHA teachers.
The outstanding support of special need children
Good academics and professional staff
I give FHS a five star rating. The teachers are great and the adminstration is great. The principal is a great leader and has led the high school to six year of excellence.
FHS is a great school which has proven itself by maintaining an excellent rating by the Ohio Board of Education. My child has an opportunity to be in many diverse programs, including a top soccer program, vocal music and drama, and academic organizations. For the lower taxes we pay compared to surrounding districtsthe school is certainly maintaining a high quality learning environment.
The block schedule of FHS leaves much to be desired. While great for the teachers, the block schedule dillutes challenge which should be given to the students and produces substantial gaps in the students' educations. While there is a core group of supportive parents within the school district, the academic standards remain immensely lower than those of surrounding districts.
I stopped in the High School to pay my child's fee's and was introduced to the new assistant principal. It is very obvious who the current administration feels is the discipline problem at the school and I guess this man is the man who is supposed to solve all of the issues because he is coming from NCH. I personally think FFH is a racist school and hiring this person simply proves my point. I hope his big salary was worth it when the board ask us for another levy!
While my child received an excellent education it was with no support from your inexperienced and I fear much too young administration who were apparently hired to 'bond' with the students rather than set examples and be appropriate role models. Not a day went by that my daughter did not come home and tell me some unbelievable scene that occurred in the cafeteria or the hall or even in the classroom that went with out discipline and the offending student got off with a 'warning' or worse case a day in ISD. She even indicated that a student even threw a book at a teacher in class and the teacher was admonished for provoking the student! I wonder who is running the show and why is the district allowing this to happen?
