I have had a wonderful experience at Fairview High School and it has provided me with so many opportunities. The teachers and the community at Fairview are what make it so unique. Without the support, dedication, time, and connection I made with teachers I wouldn't be where I am today. The one thing I would change is having more opportunities to look closer at my future. It would be helpful if the school provided more speakers or learning opportunities to help students figure out what type of carrier is best suited for them. Overall, I have made so many amazing memories, friends, and I have learned so much. I am grateful to have had the privilege to go to the Fairview!
Attending Fairview High School had granted me an excellent high school education! I would recommend this school because it provides many opportunities (clubs, internships, volunteer services, etc.) as well as necessary resources. The average high school freshman may have no clue what their passion is, but with Fairviews' College and Career Center, anyone can find their career path and the right school for them! The academics at Fairview are incredible and accurately prepare students for the real world. Overall, I love Fairview High School and am thankful for all that it has provided for me!
Fairview High School, in Boulder, Colorado is a very large school, at 2,400 students overlooking the Flatirons of the Rocky Mountains. While the education is strong, the classes sizes are larger, approximately 30 students per class. There are many clubs to join and if your student doesn't see something they are interested in, they can create their own. There are a lot of sports to participate in, but some are more selective than others. With so many students competing, it can be difficult to make the cut for more selective teams. One area that I see as an opportunity for improvement as a parent is student support in the area of "professional school counseling". I do not think Fairview is set up for success. There are too few counselors / resources for students, especially during busy periods, like college admissions time. The counselors they do have try to meet the needs, but are unfortunately too overwhelmed with too many students to give the focus and attention needed.
