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.

Ferriday High School played a big part into me becoming the female I am today. Ferriday High is filled with Trojan pride , I love the fact that we all go so hard for each other. I dislike the fact how people judge the school due to certain bad experiences because Ferriday High always rises above all the bad. I also dislike how strict it is because being strict is what will drive a child to act out. However it doesn't matter how strict Ferriday High gets , it'll always be home. It's still home to those who attended there once and left because they come right back due to the tight bond we have with one another.

I love that the facility and staff are so caring and how they make sure everyone's feeling their best. I would like to have more resources though because we don't have many.
