4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI don't think the test score reflects the school's quality of education. Our students in Furness come from all where in the world. We have a very diverse student body. As a graduate student and also a valedictorian of the Furness High School, I can proundly say that our faculty members and students are great. Our test score may not as good as the other school, but our students are carrying more weight in family and it's not easy to anyone to study a new language.Parent Review1y ago
