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.

The students here at Fisher are very friendly. We're very involved with school spirit and the surrounding community. We have a lot of clubs with a lot of people in those clubs, and the teachers/staff are awesome.

The teachers are exceptional and really truly care about their students. They strive to not let them be left behind as long as a strong parent advocate is behind them. The thing I'd like to see change is more education and training on recognizing and dealing with bullying.

The staff are not entirely helpful, but not all that bad. Some want you to learn but some just do not teach appropriately.

We came from a smaller school district when my daughter was in 8th grade. She was accepted immediately and has become a true Fisher Bunnie!!
