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.

I transferred here from a Boston charter school and it's been way better. I'm really thankful for a lot of the teachers and admin. But, sometimes admin fails, and lately the school/district has been making a lot of unilateral decisions that students are opposed to -- really strict phone policy and tardy policy (escalates to saturday detentions), and extending the school days.

The best part of being in Fenway was getting the experiences and opportunities other schools in my district didn't. This allowed me to gain the skills needed to be able to succeed in my academics and being more responsible. One of my worst experiences was having a teacher who was not familiar with the subject and having to endure it. I let my principals know of this matter and how my classmates and I were struggling but they did not seem to care that it would damage both the teacher & the students reputation.

I absolutely adore this school! I can not imagine being anywhere else because nothing can compare. To be honest I have gotten use to seeing teachers working at the bare minimum because they have just given up. Which is why when I came to this school, and I saw how motivated the teachers are, it just...
