Fairmont Private Schools is a system of schools that offers grade levels from kindergarden to 12th grade. Overall the elementary and middle school levels were the best in my opinion. For high school the Prep Academy at Fairmont isn't as good.
Fairmont Private Schools have many campuses. There is Citron, Mable, the Prep, and Edgewood. Citron is for kindergarden grades. Mable is elementary school up to 6th grade. The Fairmont Prep Academy is for 7th grade to high school 12th grade. Edgewood is for all grades I believe and is located near Irvine, California. I have attended the Mable campus and the Prep campus. Education is decent.
Fairmont Preparatory Academy is a private high school located in Anaheim, CA. Overall the quality of teaching is OK. However, grades are relatively easy to earn and everyone there has over a 4.0 GPA. Regardless of how hard you work or how much you slack off, getting an A is almost just too easy. Also, the school is half populated with international students from Korea, as well as a few from Indian and Middle Eastern nations. For $12,000 a year you essentially buy your grades. For parents, if you want to send your kids there, at least 80% get into at least one university in the University of California school system located in California.
Some teachers in the Fairmont Prep Academy are inexperienced, but overall the faculty and staff are nice.

Post a CommentFairmont Private School is so much more that a school that may prepare your child for academic success, and entrance into the "right" college. It prepares you for life. As a Fairmont Alumni who now sends my kids to Fairmont, I cannot think of another school that provides the academic background, and hands on experience that Fairmont does that helps a student succeed in college (no matter what college they choose).
I would like to advise any parents thinking about sending their children to to this school to look else where. I have never seen such an incompetent teaching staff. The school is slowly raising the price on everything, every year in order to turn out greater profits. Fairmont Private Schools is no longer a reputable school system, but rather a business to finance personal greed. The students of this school pay around $17,000 per year in order to go the same colleges as or in many cases worse than students that attend school for free. The students are miserable at this school and it becomes very obvious during rallies where no one has school spirit and everyone wants to listen to their iPods and play their gameboys rather than see what's going on the floor. I again advise parents to steer clear of this terrible school for the previously stated reasons and so many other reasons. Thank you.
Fairmont Preparatory Academy is an up and coming school. There student count grows every year, things are only getting better not to mention one of the best educational schools in California. So much has already happen, keep watching the Prep. They are becoming an all around school. (Education-Sports-Community).
Generalizations can be ignored.
fairmont is horriblr!! they focus too much on the uniforms and that they over look how much cheating is going on. it annoys me how they let the international students always talk in their languages. the math department is horrible. that mrs. lewis shakes her students and if they get the answers wrong she tells them they are stupid. is that teaching?
i agree with the comment from1/30/07. WE ARE BURNED OUT. Fairmont is terrible now. The math teachers are terrible. The teachers have no backgrounds and the school has become fully international.
Fairmont Private Schools is a preschool - 12th grade community of schools in Orange County, CA with a rich history of academic success. In keeping with the school's 50+ years of academic excellence, Fairmont Preparatory Academy offers many AP and IB courses, provides personal college counseling, low student/teacher ratios and even offers an advanced math track and medical magnet to help students gain admission to highly competitive colleges and universities. While students certainly strive for perfect grades, they do not all achieve straight A's and their parents certainly do not buy grades. The campus is culturally and ethnically diverse in keeping with the demographic of Southern California and has a thriving campus life. No school is perfect, but Fairmont Prep is certainly one of the premier college preparatory schools in the area.
I find your opinion that grades are ridiculously easy to earn to be preposterous. Unless every single class you took was CP with not a single AP class, it is rather difficult to keep A's. In AP European History, a C is considered passing (in the student's minds, which react to B's like one is failing), a B is considered astonishing, and A's are in the unreachable outside fields.
