I have been at this school for three years. Overall the school is involved, positive, and the staff try hard to teach and have a good impact on the students. I would recommend this school to most students.

As a recent FMHS grad, this school is great. They offer you tons of college ready classes such as AP or even concurrent enrollment at a local college. The sports is one of the best in the valley, and the events are well planned out.

I was new to the district as a 9th grader and spent the last two years learning the system. There are many opportunities for additional learning, but several of the teachers didn't seem qualified to teach the higher-level classes. This left me to do my own research and figure things out on my own. Several teachers either gave me wrong answers or simply told me, "I don't know" when I asked. The school itself has made some changes, but you can still see the old parts. Administration was new, I think my first year, and they are still working out the kinks in how they communicate. The best part is that the school is connected to the local university, so if you want, you can get college credit for certain classes.
