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 am a 3rd generation High School student at Francis Lewis High School. My mother and grandmother attended as well. It is a great neighborhood public High School. I really enjoyed the classes and extra curricular activities.

The best thing about Francis Lewis High School is the community itself. There is a little bit of something for everyone, such as teams, clubs, and organizations. You're almost bound to find something you enjoy. However, unfortunately, while most teachers and faculty members are genuinely amazing people, quite a few offer no support whatsoever.

The hallways can get crowded, especially at the annex—the new building. As of 2024, the athletic field is under renovation, so PE is usually on the field(gym uniform and all). There's quite the range of APs and programs. As for lunch, like most other high schools it's kind of mediocre.
