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 in robert fulton college preparatory has been good, The teacher's are nice and help us a lot, Specially the councilors. i've been an 4.0 student since first semester and i wouldn't say that it was easy but it wasn't that hard either. Maybe because the teacher teach the lesson clearly as long as you pay attention. Being in this school thought me a lot of things, the only hard part was getting involved on certain activities because sometimes there would be events that i would have loved to experience but didn't get informed by it. I enjoyed most of my time in fulton and hoped that all the enjoyment would continue.

I like the people and have had a good experience in my time here. However, I think that it would be nice if they offered more AP classes and clubs. I would have also liked there to be more language teachers other than Spanish.

I think this school really cares about its students. They are always providing us with free workshops and career fairs. The staff here is also very friendly. I have been here since middle school and i have not had any problems. Since this school is smaller than usual, it feels like a family. Especially when you have the same people around you, you feel comfortable.

Fulton Fight Club is poorly supervised, students leave the campus at will. Fulton sent police & DCFS to my house, even though he was beaten up at school.

We need a lot of work here at fulton, academic wise and fundamental. I kept my kids in fulton middle because we have had a couple of great teachers. Some teachers are still there for the kids and not a paycheck but there's a lot to be done. I've attended a couple of the workshop that show the alignm...

The school is run down. Students are just hanging out on the yard during class time and no one is watching them. The principal is no where to be seen and there is no security for this middle/high school. Teachers are grouchy and impatient. The students look board during class time there is obviously...
