"Playworks is a program that has had a tremendously positive impact on Fairmount Elementary School. This is an organization that the school works with - they provide a coach who works with the students in structuring recess and lunch recess periods. She has been terrific at promoting the values of sportsmanship and being a team player. Playworks has revolutionized recess and lunch recess at Fairmount!"

"I have to say that I am always pleasantly surprised at how up-beat the positive energy is at Fairmount this year. It is hard to believe that we are halfway through the school-year, as it feels like we just started. I really liked the Baile Familiar and Dia de los Muertos celebrations. These celebrations make this school such a fun place to go. The community is very much alive with great energy and spirit this year."

"This school is a disaster with no respect for teaching as a profession. The principal is a smooth talker who does not follow through with any action. Don't be fooled. There is no emphasis on curriculum, teaching, or safety at this school. It is a dangerous place for children. We had to take our child out in the middle of the year due to safety concerns."

"The 2010-2011 school year is off to a great start under the leadership of our new principal, Jeremy Hillinski. He brings energy and enthusiasm to the difficult task of leading a school that has experienced several leadership changes and a major construction project in the past few years. My daughter is starting 4th grade, and I could not be happier with her progress in mathematics and language arts. Her father and I do not speak Spanish, but her language acquisition, understanding, and accent have been complimented by our friends who do. I worried that she would not thrive in public school, but the challenge of having the majority of her instruction in Spanish since Kindergarten, and the collaborative environment that Fairmount teachers encourage has helped her to flourish."

"As a second grade parent I feel really happy with our school. We have a great principal on board, Mary L. Cranna. She is warm, caring, responsible, responsive, attentive, etc, etc. We're really lucky to have a principal willing to roll up her sleeves and work hard. Great staff, great enrichment programs. An excellent after school program, GLO. We have very actives committees; PTA, SSC & ELAC. They all work together with the principal & staff to benefit our children. Fairmount is the whole package. My child is only in second grade and he reads and writes very well in both English and Spanish. His teacher Mr. Castillo is an excellent teacher. Our community is the best. We are a family. We're Fairmount family!"
