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.

My school experience has been good, it could have been better but that's mostly wishful thinking for a public school. I've been able to take most of the classes I wanted to take, I was able to take the ones I needed for my career at least. The bathroom situation isn't great here, the bathrooms by the cafeteria don't have doors anymore, and we cant use the single bathroom with a lock anymore. Other than that everything is fine, could be better but it is what it is.

My experience at Fitch has overall been okay, it hasn't been anything special the academics and sports are average. Student life is pretty exciting at times and unified when it comes to pep rallies, football games, and other events

Robert E. Fitch High School transformed my life. Being excepted on their cheer team gave me the confidence I needed to become the student I am today as a sophomore at Southern Connecticut State University.
