I went to Fairfield Elementary back in those years. I'm a ninth grader now. I absolutely loved it. I love the teachers. The school events are great and educational. Although, I haven't attended the school after the new administration was in. They have so much activities to get involved in and it made me get excited about school.

I was horribly abused physcially and mentally by my classmates for all the years I went here. My teachers and the administration did nothing. I am not the only one, many of my neighbors' children suffered the same. The school plays heavily into the game of 'political correctness', allowing minority students to do what they want for fear of a lawsuit. I'm still bitter and angry about this place after all these years.
