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 best parts about Fox Tech High School is that it has different medical programs you can take to become a nurse. It has college ready courses so you can have an advantage when you go to the college you applied for

Overall, Fox Tech is a wonderful school. Every school has some students that cause problems, it is normal. Currently, I am a part of the H-TECH program, and I love it. By the time I graduate, I will have an Associates Degree in Science for Pre-Nursing. I take college courses and will be able to transfer my credits to other colleges, which means I will be ahead for college. I am grateful for the opportunity the H-TECH program at Fox Tech has provided me.

My experience at Fox Tech is overall pretty positive. The teachers there really do care about the students, and there are only a handful that kids know don't care. The staff is pretty welcoming but I think that they could do better with really listening to our problems. I really like the programs at school but I don't like how the Law program is extremely overlooked , like they only really focus on the Health side and we kind of get pushed aside. This is mostly due to the lack of funding for the law program and lack of staff. We only have really 1 teacher that IS the law program. Without her I doubt it would even still exist. So I would say that I would want the advertisement for the law program be boosted and that they really help out this one teacher because taking 4 different graduating classes on different field trips to fit the curriculum were learning is pretty difficult. I mean since it is only her we maybe go on two a year to the court house.

The new law and health magnet programs are amazing. I learn way more going to a magnet school than going to a traditional high school. The teachers care about their students and if they are passing. The teachers also are able to work one on one with each student if its needed because the classes are...
