Fairfield Freshman School

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” George Elliott 1860

Built in 1951

Original High School

Freshman School looks decent on the outside, however, the interior possess many problems for our students.

Environment is not conducive to Student Learning

History of Freshman School

Learning Environment is either hot or cold

85% of the building is not air conditioned

Hard for students to focus sitting in 100 degree heat

Classrooms are loud due to windows being open and fans running, which continuously disrupts learning.

Environment Not Conducive to Student Learning

Standing fans are located at the end

of hallways to circulate air.

Extremely loud.

Carpet is delaminating in classrooms

The building has not had new carpet since 1972

Carpet is a safety concern due to slips, trips, and falls because it has to be duct taped down to stay in place.

Environment Not Conducive to Student Learning

Classroom Environment

Current wiring infrastructure built in the mid 1900s needs to be upgraded to accommodate new technology needs and reduce fire risk.

Moving toward computer based assessments in 2014-2015. Major concern with providing students 21st century opportunities due to the lack of technology.

Not Capable of Providing Technology

Major structural damage.

Likely, materials used throughout insulation and building material would not be up to code in 2013.

Environment Not Conducive to Student Learning

Major leaks throughout the roof.

Auditorium can not be used on rainy days due to major leaks.

Have to block off sections of seating due to water damage.

Environment Not Conducive to Student Learning

Infrastructure

Boilers

True “High School Campus”

Provides students the opportunities to access higher level classes at FHS.

Comfortable environment would support student learning.

Restructure of FCSD

Positives to a New Freshman School
