GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 parts have been the connections that I have built with those I go to school with and the staff. They really make it an open-armed school that is very welcoming to all. The worst part is the involvement of the schools and not that many people go and support others with sports and music.

Teachers are approachable and helpful. It's a welcoming environment overall since I was a new student my junior year and easily acclimated to FCHS.

Of all the teachers my kids have had, I would only give a couple of them 3 out of 5 stars. All the others are 4 or 5 star teachers. The scores kids receive on AP exams at the school are ex...
