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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I love going here and the school spirit. The teachers and student body are wonderful and I've never felt alone. When I was in my Freshman year my house burnt down and the faculty came together and help buy things that were lost in the fire. It's a wonderful s hool and even though it's small, it's the best school in terms of spirit, faculty, opportunities, and a chance to find yourself.

Fort Cherry is a great school & I have enjoyed my time here. It is a close community and everyone supports each other. The teachers are always available to help. I will miss Fort Cherry, but am looking forward to college.

In my experience throughout highschool, the teachers have done nothing but helped further the education of their students. One of the best times I can remember is my teachers asking about my life when I had a hard time, and not ridiculing me for missing class.

There is a beautiful outdoor classroom, updated playground, specialty rooms, and so much more. The junior/...

Administration has very little knowledge of disability law and some teachers and admin are very rude when it comes to disabled students, specifically i...
This School is a joke, don't get me wrong... MOST of the teachers and faculty are great, but the school's coach's, curriculum, food, and classes are a joke.
I love attending FC! The small nature of the school allows for teachers to work with students who need help individually. There are a vast range of courses and clubs, especially for a school of this size. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
