The school didn't have academic clubs to pursue. Seemed to prioritize sports facilities rather than any academic facilities. Large school but a small library the Library is two sizes of a classroom.

Being a senior at FFCHS I have seen the school change so much throughout these 4 years. One of the best parts about this is the chance to explore differences. You get a chance to join different clubs and participate in sports and even take part into the arts of high school. It's a great place to discover and meet new friends who share similar interests with you and can potentially create a lifelong connections. We have different pep rallies And school dances to football games and spirit weeks that all fill in the fun of high school and make it a memorable experience.

The band/music program is amazing everything else is just mid. The teachers aren't really above and beyond caring for students but they're not horrible, admin and counselors do the bare minimum for students. The best part is the music program.

My two sons attended this high school. They both took AP courses, which helped prepare them for college. There were also many extra curricular activity opportunities.The grading system was confusing. It didn’t seem like even the teachers could figure out how to effectively grade with the 0-4 systems...
