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.

The best part of my experience has been how many resources are available for me, from research to robotics to college readiness. Not only from the high school but also from the college. I wish I had gone here for my k-8 because the education and resources are excellent.

My experience at FAU High was an all around great experience. It is a world leader in academics and provides 1 of a kind opportunities for young students. I was able to take a large part in the research opportunities that were provided. This gave me the chance to participate in labs and research groups on the FAU campus and engage in real undergraduate research. Although sports is often overlooked I have noticed that FAU High has taken leaps towards a better sports program.

I can't speak enough about this school. My son has 1 year left. He has been here since Kindergarten. They are way above the local schools. Your son or daughter will thrive in this school. Highly recommend. The teachers are hands down the best. They do not down the education to just pass your child....

Excellent schools. These schools provide students with a learning environment achieved by no others. They shape students to be ready for everything ahead of them. Although they are great in terms of academics and preparation, HOMEWORK! The middle school provides too much homework, but it is doable....
