This school consistently delivers outstanding academic performance, outpacing state and district averages across a wide range of subjects and assessments.

The school's proficiency rates on EOC exams for Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1, and Civics reach an impressive 100%, far surpassing the state and district averages.

FAU High School exceeds in preparing students for not only college, but grad school as well. PSAT prep is not taken lightly and pays off with high scoring results. Our son couldn’t be happier attending this school. A small school that sees big futures in their students, treating them like the adults they will become. Close Quote
