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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I like how small the school is, which makes classrooms one-on-one. On the other hand, it is falling apart. We need to redo the building.

Ferndale area Junior/Senior High School is a very small school compared to all of the other high school that I hear about in college. Ferndale has given me the chance to get to know many people and allow for me to get more teacher to student interaction so that I could fully understand things that I had trouble with learning. I've built many friendships there which developed into a family type bond. The people are always nice and helpful there. All of the teachers push students to succeed so they will have the ability to further their education outside of high school. Ferndale Area Junior/Senior High School is a great school to attend and will help students make friends and acquire great education.

They are overall caring and committed to helping the students grow and meet their potential.
Ferndale has a problem with keeping the principle at the high school, which interferes with the students learning since things get changed every time they recieve a new principal.
