We choose to purchase our home where we did because we knew that FCSD was rated very highly. My son started K this year and I am very happy with the cirriculum and extra opportunities for him. He is in reading support and has done quite well. They have also had after school Great Expectations programming which was great for the kids and teached for enriched learning and interaction outside of the classroom setting. I have been to the school during the day and the kids are all smiles and so enthusiastic! I am so glad that we ended up in Fairview. The technology the kids are working with is on par with business-white/smart boards in every class, top of the line laptops and PC's. My only concern is that my son will outflank me with the technology and he will be teaching me a thing or two in a few years! Great school, great staff. Very responsive to inquiries and concerns. The PTO is also very active and there are always activities for the parent to participate such as Music Box and Traveling Art. A VERY enriched program of educational/cultural learning opportunites. We are just over the border in Indiana Twshp, if you choosing between nearby districts I would choose FCSD every time.

Fairview Elementary exceeds expectations! We joined Fairview this year after several years in the NYC private school circuit. The staff has been warm, welcoming and responsive. There are numerous services and learning opportunities available for both gifted students and those who need a little more hands-on intervention. The most important point is that ALL students are enthusiastic and, regardless of achievement level, the classroom environment is invigorating. As a family, we are extremely pleased with the overall experience.
