The school is average, the staff is great, the before and after school traffic is terrible. Parents and nearby pedestrians blare their music, speed, and cuss. I definitely feel out of place here and will be moving just to get my child to a better school.

This school has been the best for my kids...My son is beginning his second year but has been since preeschool, the preschool teacher is really good at what she does. My daughter is going for her second year in preschool and I intend for them to continue in the same school. I love this school and the interest that the teachers put in the students to become better...they really make the best effort for kids to learn the most..

While I love the staff, facilities and my childs teacher at Fay I am appauled by the parents that stand outside the school and use fowl language. Also disconcerting are the parents that pick up their children while blaring inappropriate music and lyrics from thier vehicles. I will not be reenrolling my child.

The staff is always very kind and they truly care about the students and how well they do.They are always after school and willing to help the students in what they might be having trouble in. They are really a kind caring and respectful staff. Thank you for listening to me.
