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.

At First Flight High School, the people, the culture, the diversity, it's all there. It's not hard making friends being a Filipino within most white. And everyone is welcoming to me. The teachers and faculty are especially nice to no matter who it may be.

First Flight is a great school filled with exceptional teachers and staff. Throughout my time here, I've never once felt unsafe or at risk of danger. I feel as thought I am very well educated and the learning environment was very nice. This school has a newer look with many opportunities and clubs for everyone.
