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 would never advise anyone to go to there. The staff is unacceptable, and the administration is even worse. They do not care about about students. They send kids out for a drug test all the time. That is all they think of kids who are struggling.

I've lived in Fair Lawn my whole life and I'll say it's not a bad town whatsoever. The education is amazing because most of the teachers know how to teach and there are many options for classes that students can take. I love how the school has so many learning experiences in many different fields like theater, music, and art. Overall, I am pleased with my experience while spending four years at Fair Lawn High School.

This school is miserable and offers no support to students that are not white and Jewish. If your child is of any other race, or of any other religious practice, they will without fail experience mistreatment even if they are the most intellectual student in the building. It is sad to see how unfair...

Fair Lawn High is under rated compared to the schools in the area such as Ridgewood High and Glen Rock but can stand with them toe to toe as far as curriculum and extra curricular activities are concerned. They have an excellent program which prepares the teens for the next level.
