Fordyce High School, while small is definitely not a terrible public school. I feel like the education provided is below common standards and could definitely educate their students at a higher level. Teachers are very willing to help their students, and make sure that no child is left behind.

I started to go to Fordyce school since I was 12 years old. As now I'm a senior, 6 years going to Fordyce have given a lot of memories. Most of my friends are really friendly and teachers are always try to be helpful for us as students.
