Overall ok school to attend. Once had the eight training teacher fill in for a geometry class only to leave quarter through the year. Most classes were very poor at educating and were a complete disaster. Ever since I left due to the "running start" program a good majority of what I was taught in FHS was contradicted abundance in College.
