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.

FSSA was a great school for the arts. The administration was very biased and lacking professionalism. This highschool prepares you well for college.

This school has many ups and downs. It is a safe place and have many wonderful staffs. However sometimes going to an art school is hard, because the art isn't always taken seriously. There would be many shows and sometimes without consideration that we also have to juggle with school. However we do get great training as a dance major.

My daughter is a vocal student at Sinatra and has had an amazing 4 years there! The growth I see in her from year to year is impressive.

It's a great school. Bullying is no tolerated. The Principal is very approachable and the kids love him. Kids at this school balance academics as well as the Arts and it's not an easy task. Teachers are willing to teach kids after school hours and for that, they go far and beyond.

Terrible school! I had to pull my son out. He was being bullied by gang members. Yes there are gangs here. Don't let the teachers convince you otherwise. My son was also bullied by a teacher in the school who constantly stopped him in the hallways and took him to the office to ask "suspicious" quest...
