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.

Fitch High School is a good school. It has good teachers, there is a minimum of 4 police officers in austintown schools campus. It offers multiple AP and CCP classes. Has amazing development in their sports industry. However lacking in their music and drama departments as far as funding goes.
