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 really enjoyed being a student at Falmouth high school. They have done a great job with providing resources to help us succeed, they only down side is there isn't much diversity.

The changes I would like to see at school would be accountability. When a student does something really bad they are usually not punished, or not punished enough. No one learns their lessons and there are always repeat offenders.

I believe that I have had a very in-depth education at Falmouth High School. There are a myriad of clubs, groups, and sports that students can partake in, as well as many different electives and core classes students can take at Falmouth High School. The faculty does a lot to prepare students for college and life beyond high school, and many alumni of Falmouth are now very successful. The only issue I have faced has been with some of the teachers, however, they have all retired or left.

I attended Falmouth High School many years ago for all 4 years. I still look back at it as the best time of my life. I was a new student and immediately accepted. There were no cliques, but some harmless grouping of students. Falmouth is one of the wealthiest towns in Maine, but also has large rural...

+ Strong focus on fundamental teaching as opposed to teaching-to-a-test. Top quality teachers who generally have 10-20+ years experience. Still relatively small class sizes, despite growth over the past 10 years. + Challenging course work for all levels of students + Opportunities to take "real worl...
