School Reviews
2 9/26/2007
Academic program expects the youngerster to be entering into college. Way too much homework and lessons have to be learned quickly or the student will fall behind. Extracurricular activites are ok, it's a good break for the kids from the class room. Awards are only given to those students that 'fit' the Pickerington model. Rich, trendy, children can not be children. If parents are too involved then you will be sent to the principals office. If you are a plus size parent, you will be frowned upon and comments will be made to you. We are raising children, not model-robots.
Review Fairfield Elementary School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
