The staff is amazing at FBCS. They see my son as an individual, met him where he was educationally and allowed him to explore ideas more in depth. Instead of AP classes, students who are ready take college classes. My son graduated many completed college classes that gave him a year less to do in co...

I am disappointed in the reviewer that called the Charter School a 'pay to win' school. The Charter School is a public, tuition free school - like any other public school. Standards have to met, nothing is given out.

Don't understand review just posted. This is not a school parents pay for their children to attend. It is a Charter School, there are no school fees for attendance. My son attends. Just wanted to set the record straight.

They claim to focus on each child individually, but all that really does is spread out their already thin educational abilities....
