My son has been a student at Fairmount since Kindergarten and is now in 4th grade. The PTA is very involved and promotes student/family activities. There is amble opportunity for your child to partake in band, music, dance or drama clubs, which all culmminate in shows for student assemblies and parental after school concerts. My biggest concern however is the discipline procedures. when students are sent to the office for infractions that, at times warrant an apology or detention, suspension notices are written up and students "interrogated" without parental contact. The principal is a very personable and likable man, and has an open door policy. I believe that more males need to be present as there are too many female staff members. Academically Fairmount prepares the students well. The teachers use varying teaching strategies to educate the students. My son was appropriately challenged and pushed academically to achieve above the status quo. The nurturing and charter building staff members provide was of great help. There is a strong sense of family and community involvement here. Overall I find my son's experience to be more up than down. Def. a good starting point.
Fairmount Elementary School has provided my child a great education. Not only do I have high regards for the principle & assistant principal but I do admire the teachers of this school. I am a happy parent!
The Principal, Vice Principal and Teachers are extremely hard working and completely devoted to the children. The Principal is honest passionate about allowing the children to have well-rounded educations there, not just Test-Taking educations. My kids have shown tremendous growth in their time there and love the learning atmosphere as well as the extra curricular activities. I can't imagine my kids being any where else!
I am a proud Fairmount School parent. My 3 children attended Fairmount. They are well rounded individuals who not only received an excellent education but left there with a strong sense of community and pride. My family is a stronger family thanks to the lessons we have all taken away from Fairmount School.
