I dislike this school very much now. It was an amazing school before the new principal came and completely destroyed it and the dreams of the children that attend it

The teachers give them homework that they haven't even begun studying

That's a 50-50 you have some that care but some that dont even want to try to teach just give them work with a brief explination and expect them to understand it

This school and completely discouraged 2 of my children to the point they dont even want to get up to go they make them feel stupid they care more about their dumb rules and would rather get these children in trouble than teach them anything

The principal here tries to make the kids that attend like robots instead of letting them be kids kind of like if you dont learn it at her pace you get left behind

They claim their an avid school when in reality they're doing nothing to help these children learn anything

The kids aren't the ones that bully it's more the teachers and yard aids do the bullying

I absolutely loved my teachers!!!!!!!! sure you had those strict ones but I found that those were the ones who would always push me to do better

No one really likes homework however many times my teachers would help so it would be less work to do at home since we would finish most of it in class

When I was a student there I believe this school handled all situations fairly whether the situation was good or bad

I am a former falcon and I absolutely loved my teachers!!!!! I know that some of my former teachers are still teaching there so there are still good teachers in this world who actually want to help the children not just babysit them and collect a paycheck

Im a Fairfax Student and it changed my life! I used to go to Stiern Middle School and that was aweful! I love it at Fairfax because the staff is wonderful and there are many people there who are involved with the things we do. In my opinion Fairfax is a GREAT school.
