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.

I have been going to Fountain Lake my whole life, and my mother went here as well. I have enjoyed my clubs, and the arts at Fountain Lake. The people here are very good about keeping others involved, and we are very competitive.

They have some amazing teachers and great learning programs. They really care about their students. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants a great education. I always struggled with math but their math department and free after school tutoring really helped me be able to make a B+.

With all honesty, this school is the worst I've been to, and that's to say, I've been at some pretty darn bad ones. The rules are ridiculously strict, you can get ISS for almost ANYTHING, bullying and name-calling is very common, children with disabilities or disorders are NOT treated fairly here ei...

Understaffed, concerned only with test scores, bullying obvious to parents even, repeatedly send KINDERGARTENERS to ISS and hand out pink slips for literally anything, for example, missing questions on homework, or defending another child from bullying. It has gone downhill.
