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 had an amazing High School Experience overall. My teachers and the school administration were caring and committed. I participated in cross country and track for all 3 seasons and learned values such as perseverance and dedication. FHS prepared me very well for my first year of college at Salve Regina University where I will be beginning my second semester as a freshman.

The teachers are very supportive and good at their jobs. They offer a well rounded education. I would only change their extra class options since there is no way to avoid an art class.

My high school experience has been amazing so far. I've met so many great peers and had amazing teachers that helped me improve significantly as a student. The guidance department is also amazing and I know that I can go to them whenever something's on my mind and I need to talk to somebody.

When I went there, it was constant bullying, without any help from the teachers or staff. When I was threatened with a knife, I'd had enough! I dropped out, earned my GED, and went on to college. I didn't fail in Fairhaven High School, Fairhaven High School failed me!
