This school has been very positive for my ADD child. She has made some wonderful friends, involved in sports, and has grown so much spiritually and academically. Wonderful school with a fabulous staff who cares about these students!

This school is anything but Christ-like. I am a born again Christian and want to see my child attend a school that not only talks about how to be a good Christian but practices it as well. The faculty and staff selectively discipline the children. The students from the rich families get a “pass” for anything they do wrong but the ones from the poorer families are severely punished. The grades for the rich kids are grossly inflated while the poorer students are not given any help for substandard performance. Most of the teachers there are only filling up space to draw a paycheck.The school board is a rubber stamp for the superintendent. Along with the principal, he cannot open his mouth without a lie coming out of it. The sad fact is that the children are more than capable of seeing through that hypocrisy. When that happens, it is not any wonder they abandon their faith as soon as they leave home and school after graduation.The school has an effective propaganda machine designed to convince everyone that they are God-fearing and Christ-loving. Anyone, with any conscience, that gets on the inside soon discovers that they are lying, two-faced, back-stabbing and lecherous hypocrites that only love money and self. They love to tell you how godly they are but never demonstrate any love or godliness.Do not walk away from this school. Run away as fast as you can.

My kids were new to FCA. Now that the new year excitement has declined their love for it is gone. My kids love the teachers, but they say the students are awful. My son described it as "A literal hell" "It's an awful school masquerading as a friendly Christ loving environment" Many new kids leave the first few months at FCA my kids have said. Many rules are selectively applied and all kids are hypocritical mean people. I would not recommend sending your kids here if you want them to be filled with Christ. There have to be better options elsewhere.

Fairfield Christian Academy is an excellent alternative for those seeking top notch academics (check out their SAT/ACT scores and % College prepared - they are the top in the county) in a Christian environment at a VERY reasonable cost. They are proof that fancy facilities and over the top athletic complexes (saddled on the backs of the taxpayers!) are not required to TEACH and maintain very competitive athletics. It is the teachers, administration, coaches and supportive parents standing on a Christian foundation that provide excellent outcomes. Great school and a great value - most students MORE than make up the cost of attending in scholarship offers upon graduation. Our children were privately educated around the world and in the US and this has been the best school/value overall.

I would NOT recommend Fairfield Christian Academy to any family looking for a technologically up-to-date, academically advanced, racially unbiased, CHRISTIAN school. We have found the administration to be lacking integrity and concerned with their own agenda. The school advertises all kinds of programs and advantages but the technology is sadly out-of-date and many of the "advantages " are simply online programs in which one or two students are participating. The rules and regulations are selectively upheld to the point that if you are able to give significant monetary donations, or if your student is a star athelete, your child will be "overlooked" when they break rules. All academic subjects are covered however, if your student is below average, do not expect extra help to be given. And, just like the community itself, the school is VERY racially biased. We speak from experience. Our children are much more care/concern/love and better academics at a public school.

FCA is an incredible school. The learning environment is top-notch and they offer excellent programs such as drama, strings, and art as well as an A+ media team and off the charts athletics programs. The tuition is affordable and it's SO worth it to have my kids in a Christian environment. We absolutely love it here.
