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.

When it comes fannie lou it pushes you out of your own comfort zone. Fannie lou offers many programs to its students and its allows many students to see what they want to do or see what there future career holds. The only bad thing would be some of the teachers some want the best for students yet do a little to much.

This school is a diamond in the rough. With small classrooms, individualized instruction, and access to programs like NYU summer classes, SAT prep, internships at places like JP Morgan, and a full-time College Success Center, FLH is on the move. I couldn't be prouder to work at such a place.
