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.

I've enjoyed the 4 years that I've been at FCTS. I played softball and volleyball during my freshman and sophomore years and my coaches have always been amazing. I enjoy academics with my favorites being creative writing and math. I'm in the cosmetology program but hope to attend a 2 year college for nursing.

It's a fun way to earn learn trades while being in high school. It opens up a lot opportunities for after high school as well. It better than an average academic high school.
