It's a very welcoming, academic, respectful, dynamic, and ethical school - that's the Warde acronym! And it stands true. Faculty and staff do a great job at ensuring these qualities in the high school and enforcing rules. The rules are strict, but students still have so much freedom to be themselves in this school. The teachers only want the best for their students, and in the situation where a teacher is unreliable, guidance counselors are always another friendly face that students can turn to.

I have two older siblings who have both attended Fairfield Warde High School and we have all agreed it is an excellent school that offers high quality academics while also allowing their students to get involved in the sport, volunteering, music and clubs available in the area. Despite only haven gone to this school for a year now, I have met new friends and have accumulated a diverse group of intelligent, active and kind people. The acronym truly speaks for itself when it states how this school is welcoming, academic, respectful, dynamic and ethical. I am looking forward to working with my amazing guidance counselor to find a college that is right for me. My sister has gone through this process already and has expressed the various ways the school has helped her to not only find a perfect school for her, but also prepare her for what she will face.
This high school is great! Teachers are great and the environment is amazing compared to the other towns high school. There is a good amount of diversity for being in Fairfield, yet there still needs to be more oppurtunities for those of minorities. All in all the school is great at offering options for their future and extra curriculars.
