McKinney ISD is a growing district with strong community support. But growth means larger class sizes, and for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning differences, getting lost in the crowd is a real concern.
Fairhill School at 16150 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 75248 is about 30-35 minutes south of Stonebridge Ranch. Families from McKinney have been making this drive because there is nothing like Fairhill closer to home.
Worth the Drive from McKinney
McKinney ISD provides accommodations for students with learning differences as required by law. But there is no school in McKinney designed from the ground up for students with dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or auditory processing disorder.
Fairhill is that school. Every student has a learning difference. Every teacher specializes with 12-15 years average tenure and 70% holding advanced degrees. A 7:1 student-to-teacher ratio means your child is never invisible.
Every classroom, every day. Teachers know your child by name and catch struggles before they become failures.
Our graduates arrive at college knowing how they learn, what they need, and how to advocate for themselves.
Since 1971. 70% of faculty hold advanced degrees with 12-15 years average tenure.
What Changes
McKinney parents often hesitate about the commute. Then they visit Fairhill and see what a school designed entirely for their child looks like. Within weeks of enrollment, the commute becomes a non-issue because the change in their child is unmistakable.
Students who were frustrated become engaged. With a 100% college acceptance rate, parents see a clear path from where their child is now to where they want them to be.
Fairhill is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Several McKinney families coordinate carpools.
