The staff at Fair Haven School truly care about their students. I've noticed many of the reviews on this page are outdated. Since the posts from years ago, Fair Haven School has gained new administration and new teachers who have come in and really changed the climate of the building. Many students who come to this school are far below grade level. Teachers work hard to make sure that the growth being made by each of their students in more than a year's worth (in an attempt to get them closer to their grade level benchmarks). Teachers have put together committees and use strategies to better connect with parents and people in the community. There will always be some outliers of students who have a difficult time during the school day, but overall students are respectful and teachers work hard to connect with them. There is only so much that you can learn about a building from the statistics and test score data. It is important to look at the make up of a building in order to truly understand how much effort and love a staff is putting into their job.

An amazing, dedicated and talented staff that go above and beyond for all students. The school administration is always visible and extremely approachable. Students love going to school every day.

Wish I could give a good review. Very disappointed. Unruly kids do not get disciplined. Kids that do want to learn, miss out due to these kids. Most teachers look afraid of the kids so they let them do whatever they want.

School focused more on things that were pointless and irrelavant to the students future. They rehersed more for the monthly towm meetings than focusing on literacy. My son attended kindergarten at this school because he was not picked in the lottery for any of the magnet schools. A lot of the teachers seemed like new fresh graduates. I feel that 80% of the learning should be done in school and parent should enforce and contribute another 20%. Not the case in this school. The students in the school were out of control like someone posted prior. It's a school in the ghetto so it doesnt get the attention and help it deserves which is SAD!
