Fair School Crystal

We are leaving Fair School after realizing the 7th grade has a widespread game of students being touched in areas of their body without consent. Our daughter has this happen at least weekly to her. Immediately after finding out about this, we demanded an investigation. The police officer at the school determined that several students independently identified several male students who did this to them, and so far the staff is doing nothing. The police can pursue criminal prosecution only if the girls can give details of a specific incident. There are video cameras at the school that go back 30 days. Why the school can't pursue these perpetrators? I don't know. But I'm going to the school board tomorrow. Fair school administration is un-organized, and don't communicate to parents when there are problems.

This isn't the same school we started out with. We have been very disappointed with the leadership and unwillingness to address bullying.

My oldest boy is in 9th grade now. To say he loved FAIR would be an understatement. As a 4th - 8th grade school, he spent five years at FAIR. Taking algebra in 8th grade, (now he is in Honors Geometry) as a 9th grader, Honors English, Honors Civics, Science, etc. Last year, all 8th graders were provided a FREE Mac Laptop computer which was used in class, for homework and the teachers went through a 40 hour class to integrate it into curriculum. It was a big plus going into HS with this exposure.

Only about 100 students per grade in the tough middle school years was also very very nice. A small school in the heart of the metro.

The quality of the students and parents is excellent. When you have to apply to go to a school, you get more parental involvement.

Arts infusion exposes them to Dance in 4th and 5th, Media Arts, Visual, but they still have gym and now offer Spanish.

9 year old building - great environment. Always in the lead state wide in middle school math and reading stats.
