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.

It is diverse school. The teachers, councilors, students everybody is nice and supportive. They help you to get an internship, a job. And even in family issues. Like if you are lacking something they can help you. And the clubs are full of vibe. I love them.

I don't think Fort deserves the biases people give it. I had some great teachers in English and Science specifically.

Though besides that my overall experience so far has been good. The people I've met are great and a lot of good people still.

The school accepts people of all races, cultures, genders, etc and I fee...

Your experience depends on the friends you hang out with and the classes you take. I recommend taking mostly all AP classes. Teachers are great and students around you all care about their education. At least that was my experience.

The most valuable learning I cultivated at Fort was from outside the classroom. If you let it, Fort will teach you more about the world than many high schools allow. Admittedly, it is a place with many struggling and disadvantaged kids. But there are truly good people here. Resilient and motivated s...
