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 think Fairfield Warde High School is one of the best schools in the country. My brother and myself have had amazing experiences with the athletics department, academics, social life, and clubs. I personally am involved in the music department and it is spectacular. But I would try to improve on the athletics. There are so many offered athletics but our school isn't the winning a lot. I feel like the athletics really are fun and feel like a family but also winning would be great too.

I didn't realize what a good school Fairfield Warde was until I got to college and found out that not all school systems are so lucky. My jaw hit the floor when some of my (private highly rated liberal arts school) college classmates didn't know what an X variable was. When I went to FWHS it was so...
