Fairfax High School Reviews

by a  Parent  Steven and Patricia Robinson
My family is relocating from Florida to Virginia, and Fairfax meets the needs of our 9th grade son.  I have been comparing Fairfax county schools with other school districts, and you consistently perform at a high level.  My son has been in private Christian schools since kindergarten, and will be attending public school in Virginia.  We believe that Fairfax would be the right fit for him.

What do you think about Fairfax High School?

Please use this forum to share any information about the strengths and weaknesses of this school that you think would be helpful to parents who are considering this school for their children. We've provided them with the hard data but this is a place where they can get a sense of the school's culture and environment. Your review will be read and posted by our team within a few days if it meets our guidelines.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"

Guidelines:

  • Please be thorough and specific when reviewing a school and try to describe several aspects of the school, rather than focusing on just one. Reviews should be between 10 and 150 words.
  • When it comes to using a teacher or administrator's real name, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Reviews containing negative comments or accusations about named individuals or individuals identified by title, such as "the principal", will not be posted. If you have complaints or unresolved issues, please contact the school directly. Don't think of this as an opportunity to "vent" and do not state data or facts unless you are sure they are accurate.
  • Do not use offensive language or content - all inappropriate reviews will not be accepted. Write clearly with accurate grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Do not write in all capital letters.
  • Parents and teachers, please write only one review for each school your children attend.
  • Students must be 14 years of age or older in order to write reviews. Students' names will never be displayed for privacy reasons.
  • Education.com reserves the right to not accept any review that we deem to not meet our guidelines or Terms of Use.
