Teacher turnover has been very high since the arrival of the current principal 3 years ago. The administration is not in tune with the teachers or students. They have their own agenda and it doesn't include putting the students first. The morale of the teachers is extremely low. Close Quote

I'm a former student of Fairfield Jr/Sr High School. I give Fairfield one star for one giant reason: Christianity. This is a Christian school. There is no separation between church and state in Fairfield. I swear, they sometimes have worship services in the cafeteria. I've actually thought of contacting an official about this to get Fairfield's funding cut. If you're an atheist, don't go to this school. You'll be hung up on a cross to die. If you're a goody-goody Christian who has never sworn before, by all means, Fairfield is perfect for you. If you're open-minded, this place could be a disaster. Lately, Fairfield has also undergone a massive breach in the fourth amendment, doing dog searches and suspending students for having cigarettes in their cars (even if they're 18). It's slowly becoming a prison. Perfect for Christians, bad for smart people. No extracurriculars, but there are some good teachers. Close Quote
