The best part of this school is the entire music department . Everyone is very accepting and the support from the staff is incredible. No matter what class you take you know that you'll be in good hands. To the concert to the musicals they never seem to disappoint. This is of course only one of the many great things I've experienced here. The one down side is that communication with higher facilities are a little more difficult. You usually would not hear from them most of the time and when you do get a response is usually a vague answer. Either way they still get our problems done even though it may take awhile.

I would say that Foran is just like your average high school. I just moved to Milford freshman year and everyone was welcoming, the students, teachers, school administrators. i would say that the environment is a great one to be in, the academics are great, the students and teachers are wonderful and they have really prepared us for college not only with the work load but how they treat us. Besides that everything else in the school is pretty average.

I sent two of my children to Foran High School. This school has some positive qualities, however, during these past few years, they hired young and inexperienced teachers who have not shown a strong interest in teaching and nursing students with weaknesses in certain subjects such as math. They are...

The school has a report card two years old that scores low with students feeling a connection with the school. This should be improved.
