Our Past, Present, and Future
Fairmont School has served the southeast side of Vacaville for almost 40 years. During the 2007-2008 school year, Fairmont served a student population of approximately 500 students in kindergarten-sixth grades in twenty one regular education classrooms, one district special day class, and two county special day classes. The staff included 26 certificated teachers, including, special day class teachers, resource specialist, physical education specialist, and one administrator. The support staff included the part-time school nurse, speech therapist, psychologist, two secretaries, a library technician, translator, health aide, special education instructional assistants, three custodians, two cafeteria workers, and five noon duty supervisors. Kindergarten through third grade classrooms had no more that twenty students and fourth through sixth grade classrooms averaged thirty one students per teacher. All teachers were certified as highly qualified under No Child Left Behind.

In 2008 Fairmont became a charter school and broke ground for a new facility, with hopes to move into it in Fall of 2009.

Construction for this project began in summer, 2008 and is scheduled for completion in fall, 2009. The project consists of an entire new school to replace the existing school. The new school will be constructed on the western side of the school campus. Students and staff will move in starting fall, 2009 and the old existing school will be demolished and replaced with new playground and playfields where the current school stands right now. The new school will consist of a new design for the Vacaville Unified School District, but a design that is not new for other school districts: a two-story all-in-one-building school. The school will be approximately 53,000 square feet, with 27 classrooms, office, library, computer lab, teachers workroom and breakroom, storage, conference rooms, multi-purpose room and kitchen. A shade structure will be constructed next to the back of the school toward the playfields. The school will be a “green” school, and will meet LEED Silver standards for energy efficiency, energy conservation and sustainability.
