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 school is very understanding . They are very easy to come to. I have been having a good senior year. Dealing with school ,sport, and work is very channeling but, I'm learning how to work on it . My administration has been very helpful. Someone paid for my grad bash which really helped me out with my money situation. I am buying everything for my senior year. My bookkeeper has helped and talked a lot of things out with me . She has taught me how to control my anger. She has shown me that I can come out of bad situations. This school has definitely helped me change for the better. I have teachers and staff helping me with college. This school has helped me so much.

There were some great things about my experience. Thanks to our CNA program, I have found my passion for the medical field. I was a long time member of the chorus program. There are some teachers who really care and challenge me. What I would like to see change is the lack of strong teaching in some of the classes.

what did you like about fwhs or would like to see change. What I liked about Fort White High School is that it was a very engaging and personal school. When you go to school there you know everybody and no one is a stranger. Everybody, there is like family and treats you like a part of your family. One thing I would like to change is that I want to see more programs and activities opened to more students.

We have the greatest faculty, staff, and administration in the area. We are likely to have enough points to have an "A" this school year. That distinction comes from all the hard work of our people and especially our students. TIWAHE!
