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.

Personally, my experience at Fox Ridge is pretty average. I do rather well in my courses. The only thing I don't like about my school is the staff. They enforce ridiculous policy's that everybody complains about, yet nothing ever gets done from them. Examples would be a cellphone policy, as well as the dress code. The security guards and deans are also not very nice to the students. Though the teachers are much better. I wouldn't necessarily correlate that to good teaching, however.

This middle school is a very bad place and impacts negatively on your child’s mental health. The teachers don’t teach or help improve the students learning and some of the eighth grade teachers do a type of classroom called a modern classroom. Which is where the teacher gives you a textbook and you...
