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.

The best part about attending Fuquay-Varina High School is the care for student-athletes and connecting with teachers to talk about work and if there is any other solution to finishing work on time without fail. The worst thing about my experience with the school is the carelessness some teachers have when explaining things in different ways. Sometimes they do not unless asked or, they do not have another way of teaching it.

I moved to this school last year. The only worse experience of my journey to my new school was struggling to make new friends and connections. I was overwhelmed by the fear of being alone and sad. Eventually, I gathered myself together and put myself back. My best part of my experience include meeting new teachers and learning more about this new city. After I got over my fear, I started to learn to make new connections around. It was the best feeling to see myself grow.

I Give Fuquay Varina high School a 4/5 Star because i think it's a great school for anyone in the area who is entering high school. The teachers are always helpful and will always provide advice or help if needed. Fuquay has been a great 2 years at a brand new school and i think new comers will love the school and what it has to offer
