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 enjoy my time here at Fordson High School. I have made so many good memories here and have made lots of friends! I have also had thr chance to grow my long-time friendships and I am very grateful for my teachers' support in my academics. I am also really grateful for the experiences I gained while participating in sports and clubs.

I don't really like how it's unwelcoming. You don't feel like you are comfortable. Staff is very unwelcoming.

Fordson has been such a wonderful experience, from diversity in culture, to our academics, I can truly say that Fordson is a place I can call home. I remember my first day at Fordson like it was yesterday, I was a freshman terrified and scared because of how high school has been portrayed, but oh was I wrong. Now I wish that I could go back, but I have to accept that now I am opening a new chapter in my life and have to move on.

The school is not the worst it’s just that if you ain’t a Muslim you will be discriminated against by other students they be trying to covert you to a Muslim and just not talk to you so making friends might be difficult I would only recommend if you are a Muslim
