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.

I attended Fisher high school and so did my three children. Two of my children are biracial. If you are an athlete you will be fine and only have to deal with the minimal racism. You will go on to experience life in bigger cities and do great. If you are just an average student not into sports you will deal with more. If you are a white student you will do great.

Not many academic opportunities due to the size of the school, but the teachers care very much and make the most of it.

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!!
