GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Fenton High School was a place where diversity was celebrated, and the environment which it created allowed for myself and fellow classmates to understand the perspectives and beliefs of others from different cultures.

Though some repairs have been made, priorities haven't been the best and our football and track field were chosen over classrooms and better technology. Overall the school is decent and the teachers try their hardest to make our time here worth it.
