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.

I graduated from Falmouth high School in 2012. My teachers were phenomenal and really cared about the students and what they did for work. It was such a positive atmosphere for learning. And they are very strict with bullying not like other public schools!! Now I volunteer at Falmouth high School it is such a great public School.

Falmouth High has a very hot or miss guidance department. Some people I know had very unhelpful experiences while my experience was near perfect, as well as others I know.

It was a great school overall, but covid really threw a wrench into the system and completely threw off the last two and a half years of my graduating class's high school experience.
