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 best part of the school is the diversity. Also the dedicated teachers. The help that you receive. The worst part of my experience is there is none I have enjoyed the school all these years.

I would like to see everyone that attends fordyce high to succeed in whatever that they want to do when they graduate from high school. I want to see them do what they love. Change the world, live their lives, be thankful that they made it this far.

Fordyce High school has many events in which students are involved in. Students attend all pep rallies and athletic events. Students and parents also attend most all school events to support our school. The people at this school are like a big family. All of us students are super close and friends with everyone. If I had to start all over again, I would definitely attend this school again.
