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.

I have had a pretty good experience at this school. I loved my classes although some teachers were a little difficult to deal with.

The teachers and staff at FDR are beyond kind. The teachers want you to succeed and offer their support in helping to ensure students do well. I did not have one negative experience throughout my four years at FDR.

The school is very diverse. The teachers are good and friendly. The guidance counselors are friendly too. The lunch and the administration could use some work. But overall it's good and I'd suggest new immigrants from Asian countries like China, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc.
