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 love the school! Everyone is so nice and it has an amazing teachers and faculty. I just wish they had more access to resources especially for STEM students and FGLI students as I feel too much funding goes to sports. Awesome school for the middle class

My experience at Scotch Plains- Fanwood High School has been mostly positive. One of the things about my school was there is a wide range of courses that students can choose from. I think having a variety of options is so important to develop what the student wants to do in the future. Another positive about the school is the recourses they offer. For those that want to attend college they offer seminars during each students study hall in so many areas of applying for college and what to do for the process. The counselors are always willing to answer questions or have a meeting with you to make sure you're on the right track. Even if students don't plan of going to college they are willing to help you find your next step once you leave high school.
