School completely dropped the ball on my son's college application process. Any school who goes with a part time college guidance program does not have the best interests of their seniors in mind. No accountability in the Academic department either.

Me personally I hate this school with a passion. I can get in trouble about the dumbest things. I wish i had the patience to tell you about everything about this school but I can't, It tears you apart to pieces and I hate that. I HATE THIS PLACE

Our son is thriving at Fork Union. It is a challenging environment but exactly what boys need. If you're looking for a boarding school for your son, consider FUMA. Unlike public government schools, boys are allowed to be boys and are surrounded by adults of character to support and guide them.

My son did...
