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 son attends this school, he recently finished six grade and had an amazing experience. The school is secured and its safe. The teachers are involved and the students as well. My son is part of the honors math program and the teacher is amazing at explaining the material and is available for extra help. The physical education teacher is caring and if a student doesn't want to play sports he tells them to walk, this way they are active.

FMS is awesome school. I’m so shock of the low ratings on the website. Clearly, times has changed and the data listed online doesn’t accurately represent the school now in 2018. First, leadership has changed. There’s a new school principal, new school curricula, new after school and extra activities...
