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.

My experience at Fayette County High School so far is not all bad. The environment at Fayette is somewhat supportive, but there is little patience with the students. As long as you do your work and stay out of the way, things should go in your favor.

My experience at Fayette county high school was pretty mixed.There was goods thing at the school which include that some of the teachers really wanted you to pass ad truly care about their students and there many polices on campus to make us feel safe but with that being said there were some teachers that I had my junior year who didn't care if we pass or fail the class and was not open to give use the resources that we need.There was also this phone rule that was ridiculous because I understand they don't want us to use our phones but if we had our phone taken away and we forgot to tell the school we can get detention which is ridiculous.Also since now were suppose to put our phone in the phone pocket like were some elementary students and since it was a new rule were not really in the habit like that and if we forget to put it in we get in trouble for not putting our own phones that we payed for in the pocket.

Fayette County High School is a very diverse school with different cultures and backgrounds. The school is very enjoyable there may be conflict there or here but the school is an amazing experience. I still have more to learn in the school but for now the school is an amazing place for kids all around. The schools best part is making friends and having different careers. The worst part is that some of the rules within the school is a little over the top but it's still an amazing school to be in.

This school has declined through the years. It used to be a great, safe, fun, educationally abundant environment. Not now! If you have the funds, go private because this public school is not as their mask appears. Research facts and have due diligence before choosing.

This community is close knit. The teaching staff, lunch ladies, janitors and administrators are thoroughly invested in the development of students. Your child will be challenged and poured into 10 times over.

We are still in GA. So some students aren’t excited about what they’re learning in history. However, I’ve been a parent hear for the last 6 years with c/o 2024 being the last year for my baby of 3. I started the year before the current administration and with Mrs. YBJ’ at the helm, FCHS has garnered...
