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.

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.

Some of the best parts of my experience where the friends I made through seating arrangments and group projects. A lot of the worst experiences I had came from feeling a lack of support from addministration.

Great classes, teachers, and opportunities. Sports are not great as we have a lot of students from low-income families meaning we have to play in the toughest league due to our population but only like 10% of kids are even able to play sports and not have to work.

The school provides many outlets and resources for students that need extra help. When I was applying to college the only person I could talk to was a singular college counselor. She was so much help but there is only so much one person can do in a 2,000 student school. In the end while FHS tries to help its students, due to either under funding or pore management, it is not able to keep up with the amount of students it has.

Because of its size and the variety of interests held by its students, the course offerings and extracurricular opportunities are vast. The core curriculum courses are leveled as college prep I, college prep II and honors....

Both our daughters went to Framingham High, after attending Charlotte Dunning. It was and is a great school. (We still live in Framingham and know families with kids currently in the schools).
