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.

Overall, Foran is a pretty good school. It's known for the band, but also has so many electives and core classes. Foran definitely prepares students for what they need to know going forward. The administration and teachers themselves are a hit or a miss, but for the most part they are all great. In general, Foran is a great school but of course has those few things that can always be worked on and made better.

They are...
