Great staff and many new STEM opportunities for middle and high school students. The district also has many family engage,ent opportunities and keeps families informed of all the happenings in the district.

My son went to this school and it was great. The teachers were very helpful and his grades increased. He is now in college with a 4.0 gpa.

Overall, my experience at Fairborn High School and in the years since is nothing but stellar. The teachers still contact me to check in and see how I am doing, and they are continuously investing in new things! I just saw that the high school is now offering a sign language course in addition to reading interventions and more. The theater program has been revitalized and things seem to be really looking up here!

The teachers are not concerned with the struggling students, they are seemingly focused entirely on putting blame on anyone but themselves. Sadly the administration apparently supports this behavior as nothing is done to correct the issues.

I have had two daughters go through their entire school experience in Fairborn. There were a handfuls of mishaps but I have found out quickly that there are AMAZING people in this district. The teachers we have encountered have been very supportive. The support staff has been great. Our youngest will graduate this year and I'm thankful for the experiences both of my girls have had. The new Superintendent seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to make this district stronger than ever and as a Fairborn resident I'm excited to watch our schools flourish. GO HAWKS!

Three generations of my family have graduated or are now attending Fairborn schools. Every graduate went on to receive advanced education and degrees. My grandchild is autistic and the special needs program in the district is fantastic. I can't say enough about it.

My son transferred to the district after the leaving Beavercreek, which clearly has issues with embracing diversity. The school has a strong community pride. Many of the families are military and move in and out of the district, which accounts for the fluctuation in enrollment and funding. I am a teacher in another district and I am very involved with my children's education. I have no complaints about the education my son receives. Currently, the school is rated an Excellent STEM public school by the Ohio Department of Education.

I was a student teacher at Fairborn High School this past year and I have also subbed there and at the elementary schools. I enjoyed my time at Fairborn High School very much. The teacher I worked with was great and the rest of the teaching staff that I encountered were very friendly and helpful. I loved the principals and the office staff. Admittedly, I was nervous about teaching there because of past reviews from a few years back, but I couldn't have been placed in a better district. From my point of view the teachers seem to really care about the students. I didn't notice any excessive behavior or discipline issues beyond typical things like being tardy. The principals were very supportive. Anytime I spoke to them or asked for assistance they were more than willing to oblige.
