Friendly High is a public high school serving grades 09–12 in Fort Washington. It is one of 198 current school records connected to Prince George's County Public Schools. NCES reports 894 students for 2024–25.
Among 252 high schools in Maryland with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 1,098 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 38th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 14.7:1, close to the Maryland median of 15.9:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Black (52.3%) and Hispanic or Latino (40.4%). English learners represent 8.3% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 14.9%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to Advanced Placement, gifted and talented programming. The school reported 8 AP courses. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
