    Fairfield Ludlowe High School has a great positive atmosphere. I am interested in Fashion marketing and was able to take this class and get a feel if this is what I want to pursue in college. There is a whole department devoted to Fashion design, marketing, and business. We also get to do internships our senior year which was very instrumental. Overall it's a great school and a positive place to learn.

    I love my high school! I have had a multitude of engaged, helpful, and highly educated teachers. My school offers so many programs and materials. They are very interested in students concerns. My only complaint is that the school can feel very competitive and the majority of students care more about good grades than learning.
    At my four years at Ludlowe High School, I have made so many friends and made great memories. I have been able to excel my learning and understanding of many different subjects. I have also been able to get into many clubs to get involved with the school and the town. The teachers are very helpful and understanding. I have never not felt welcomed at my school and wouldn't want to go to high school anywhere else!
