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.

In my experience throughout highschool, the teachers have done nothing but helped further the education of their students. One of the best times I can remember is my teachers asking about my life when I had a hard time, and not ridiculing me for missing class.

Fort Cherry is small, which allows for easier communication with teachers, and a more personal and tailored learning experience. They want you to succeed, but as all small schools are, do not have all the resources to do so.

The school just has to change about college preparation in some fields of study like math because some teachers aren't there really to teach and get side tracked. I want the best education I can and it's just difficult if the person teaching the class is always distracted.
Fort Cherry School District is a wonderful, supportive, and strong school district. The campus is beautiful, updated, and safe. The elementary center has a creative, kind, and academic feeling. There is a beautiful outdoor classroom, updated playground, specialty rooms, and so much more. The junior/...
This place is truly horrible. About 1/3 of the teachers could not care less and administration would rather pad their egos than help their students.

This School is a joke, don't get me wrong... MOST of the teachers and faculty are great, but the school's coach's, curriculum, food, and classes are a joke.
I love attending FC! The small nature of the school allows for teachers to work with students who need help individually. There are a vast range of courses and clubs, especially for a school of this size. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else!
