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.

It's an average school but the community within the school is incredible. If anyone talks bad about FHS we would all defend it even if what they said it's true. I think student mental health could be taken more seriously and individual support needs to be implemented as well. The lunch room food is not that great but that's more of a county problem not a school problem but still; the lunch room is also way too small for all the kids.

My overall experience with Fultondale high school was amazing. The school was such a small volume, the teachers could really get to know you. I've learned so much being able to have one-on-one time with my teachers. I had a lot of fun experiences and I wouldn't change it for anything.

I feel like the school is a great school. The facilities need a lot of improvement, but that's on the county. My oldest son is currently attending the school and he is doing better than before. He is in all AP classes even though he only wanted AP science. The teachers are great and reach out to my...
