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.

Overall, FHS is a good school with teachers who try very hard. However, the standards for Gen Ed classes are very low and even honors classes don't require much work as they are trying everything possible to get students to pass.

Fauquier High School is a great place to learn and to meet new people. However there's always two sides to every coin. While this school is a great place to learn, I do wish that the school can provide a better environment for students and teachers alike, by being able to provide the same opportunities to everyone and not just to people they favor. As well as providing more financial support to programs that need it. Overall it's a good school just wish to see changes that'll benefit everyone.

My overall experience at Fauquier High has been great. The school provides a comfortable environment for the students and the staff seems concerned for our well-being. One thing that I would like to see change is adding classes that will prepare us for real-world situations such as paying taxes, banking, real estate, and things along those lines.

I was never guided to challenge myself. This school was flooded with over 2000 students, and student relations were non-existent.
