WHEN I attended FHPS I really believe to strive further, but the things they teach at fairfield is preparing for the college life as well as life experiences. The only thing I disagree on about fairfield is why won't they give those back their diplomas after a new law passed that u only need to pass three parts of the AHSGE. I am 23 yrs ol and I want my diploma i don''t want anymore excuses about anything I worked to hard not to recieve based upon a stupid exam that should not be accounted for u to walk and have diploma in hand for graduation.

Fairfield high is not focused on what their students learn they're only focused on what you wear you can have on all black shoes with a white nike sign and you will be suspended

the thing is how can students learn if they have dumb teachers that don't care about a lot of stuff and principals that all they do is kick people out and suspends them and they wonder why the drop out rate is so low and to me fairfield became one of the lameness school and strictest school ever. i will keep writing until we get noticed about the stuff that go on in this school love mad student p.s. please let us wear any kind of shoes again
