“I love this school. I graduated in 2008 and im 100% glad i switched from University High School. The programs in Fairfax are ok. I can say i wish they would have had more funding. However, i believe the best part of fairfax is the Teachers. I had teachers who i didnt believe were so great until after i graduated, because even though they might have given me an F or their class could have been really boring to me. They taught me lessons in life that i will never forget. Thanks Ms. Allen, Mr. Babatunde-bey, Coach Cox, Ms. Reautebauch, and Mr. O' Hare Go Lions!”

“I attend Fairfax and let me tell u the point of view from a student. Educationally, it is very challenging and interesting. I love their SAS program (currently in it) and the teachers are great. We earn extremely high test scores thanks to the hard work of the teachers and our own effort. They encourage us to try hard. The one complaint i have is that the school doesn't have a swim team! Haha nevertheless, i love it here and i wouldn't give up my experience for anything.”

“My son is currently a junior at Fairfax HS and his experience there has been a really good one. He has had exceptional teachers that have been very committed to having their students excel, particularly the exceptional and brilliant science teacher, Ms. Antoine. He started HS with good grades and now takes a few honors courses. He is constantly pushed by his teachers and by me. It doesn't all lie with the teachers, we as parents also must take accountability for our children, but most of all, we must make our children accountable for their own actions as well. Fairfax is a great school and is on its way to full accreditation!”

“Fairfax is a wonderful diverse school. It's specialties are in arts since it is an Art Magnet School. It is one of the most diverse schools, though it is a bit over-crowded. If you want your child to excel in arts then Fairfax would be an awesome school to send your child to.”

“When I attended Fairfax it was still a wonderful learing institution. Now it seems as if the moral and students have diminished in school pride and just basic caring. It is a shame.”

“I am actually a student at Fairfax High School. I enjoy it alot. I am envolved with the basketball team and the Academic Decathalon Team and enjoy both. Some of the faculty give off a feeling like they do not want to be there but on the whole it is a nice school with little violence.”

“this school is the dumbest school, almost everyone there is failing, my daughter is failing, and is always complaining about how dumb the teachers are, and how they teach the same thing day by day. They even took out most of the great learning experiences the children could make. My daughter wants me to take her out of that school, which is exactly what i am going to do.”
