The middle school structure and staff have offered my two students solid support and connection. My students have grown academically and socially, and I always have quick collaboration from teachers/administrators around any concerns. I believe student success hinges not on school resources alone, but on how parents/caregivers are able to build partnerships with school teams. The middle school team at BFA Fairfax has been a great partner in these hard years of pandemic learning, with teachers clearly invested in the school community. Also, the school board approaches problem solving with a practical and fiscally conservative lens, while encouraging initiatives that build on strengths and include diverse perspectives. School everywhere are trying to respond to so many demands with not enough resources, but what I can say is BFA Fairfax is doing a nice job providing an experience that models the importance of commitment to learning.

I am very disappointed with the whole middle school experience here at BFA. Having previously attended a school with much stronger academics, the difference for my child in expectations, leadership, and challenge is stark. There is not even a language offered until grade 8, and then it's a "special". This school has so much potential, which is glimpsed at times. There are so many wonderful people in this town who care very much about BFA's success, and feel that "good enough" is not enough.

Just terrible. Plain terrible. Don’t send your child here if you went them to get a good education.

Overall good. PK and 1st years excellent. 1st grade terrible. Other grades such as 3rd and 5th great too.

I am a basketball fan of the Enosburg Falls high school. I did not go to the game last night, but I saw on facebook what the Fairfax boys did at the pregame ceremonies. The respect that they gave for our team and Brandon Gleason is something that should be commended. Very well done Fairfax boys team.
