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.

My experience at Fredrick douglass has been okay not great or amazing but some good things are there's good snacks and drinks and my amazing teachers and friends but some bad things are the other students and how they just treat everyone badly which it isn't right about the attuide and how lazy other students can be like asking to copy when the whole time they were talking I just ignore them because if they cared they would've payed attention but I don't ignored them if they missed a question or forgot what the teacher said because that's understanding but yeah I've liked all of my teachers so far and this school year has been fine just to much work but at least I have my friends to laugh with and talk to.

The best parts of douglass is the sports and academics. They have all levels of academics for those that are advanced. The administration does too much unnecessary complaining and lurking, more than what they get paid for.
