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.

My experience here was a bit rough at first but once the principals changed it became better. Some of the teachers here were outstanding but others didn't really seem to care about the students.

Furman Middle has made an great change. The Principals has done a Good Job with enforcing Rules. E-talk, Homework hotlines, and parent websites are the best. Now I can communicate with administration, teachers and staff more effectively! Keep up the GOOD work Furman Middle School..
