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.

Great school but needs improvement. Went here 4 years and seen lots of stuff and wasted lots of time.

I've had a lot of great memories so far at Faribault High School. I feel like the staff and admin are really involved are care a lot for the student!

I would say this high school is pretty average. The teacher were mostly okay and in order to succeed you have to be self driven. There are many fights that happened when I went there. But I've heard that it has gotten better.
