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.

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 school feels like it's in a transitional period. This is because the staff and other things are good, but the resources are lacking. Sports are fun, school sprit is also good. Overall good school to go to.

I honestly love attending Foran. My classes are rigorous and my teachers prepare me well for each subject. The school community is very friendly and welcoming. There are many clubs and sports to choose from as well. However, the administration is unhelpful most of the time.

Overall, Foran is a pretty good school. It's known for the band, but also has so many electives and core classes. Foran definitely prepares students for what they need to know going forward. The administration and teachers themselves are a hit or a miss, but for the most part they are all great. In general, Foran is a great school but of course has those few things that can always be worked on and made better.

They are...
